Det finns en kommersiell variant som kallas Walki Agripapp, som är utvecklad av företaget Walki och ev produceras af Billerud Korsnäs. Forskningsinstitutet Luke.fi har enligt hemsida forskat och validerat resultatet för täckmaterial, men hittar inget på deras hemsida. Dock hittar jag en beskrivning på Flytande bigraderbas vätska för ogräsbekämpning. Verkar vara baserat på pyrolys mtrl

Hur materialet marknadsförs

Traditionally, plastic films – typically polyethylene – are used in vegetable, berry and fruit production to prevent weed growth and raindrop- and wind-induced erosion, and to control soil temperature and moisture. Mulching like this improves soil fertility and reduces the need for pesticides, irrigation and fertilisers. But after use the film waste is often put in a landfill or recycled at high cost. In addition to this, the residues left by the plastic pollute the soil, with 20 percent lower yields as a sad result.

Finnish technical laminate and packaging producer Walki’s new organic soil mulching solution Agripap is completely biodegradable and becomes part of the soil after use. It is based on kraft paper from BillerudKorsnäs and the first of its kind in the market.

Walki® Agripap gives you:
– Excellent weed control
– Optimised growth conditions and crop yield
– Lower carbon footprint
– No soil pollution
– Less handling and transport
