Forestry


In Brazil, Rodenburg Biopolymers is currently testing the applicability of using Solanyl grades for the production of cultivation tubes for eucalyptus and pine tree plantations. Advantages of Solanyl-based biodegradable tubes for the paper & cellulose industries that maintain the plantations are:
The degradation period of Solanyl-based bio-tubes can be tuned to the demands of our clients. We engineer our plastics to start degrading after planting the cuttings and enabling the roots of the young trees to develop freely in the soil

Horticulture & Floriculture


Rodenburg Biopolymers' bioplastic Solanyl is an interesting alternative for plastic cultivation products in the horticulture and floriculture sectors. It provides cultivators with a cost-effective, environmental-friendly and organic-based plastic, which is fully compostable after usage or can be planted, though, having similar handling capabilities as PP or PE products.

Where carton/paper solutions have reduced handling capabilities, recycled plastics enhance the risks of contamination and both often-used alternatives encounter environmental/waste problems for cultivators, Solanyl-based products will provide a welcome solution for horticulture and floriculture nurseries.

Some interesting sectors for Solanyl-based biopolymer cultivation products are:
  • Tobacco cultivation trays
  • Coffee cultivation trays
  • Citripots for orange tree plantations
  • Tubes for the cultivation of tomato plants
