Farmland Under the Strongest Plastic Restriction Order: Thickened and Biodegradable Mulches Usher in a Golden Age of Development

To fundamentally address "white pollution" in farmland, the government has recently introduced a series of policies and regulations dubbed the "strongest plastic restriction order" for farmland. These policies explicitly prohibit the production, sale, and use of polyethylene mulch films with a thickness of less than 0.01 mm, and vigorously promote the use of thickened high-strength mulch films and fully biodegradable mulch films. This mandatory standard is fundamentally changing the market landscape and product direction of the mulch film industry.

Thickened high-strength mulch films (typically ≥0.015 mm thick) offer superior tensile strength and aging resistance, allowing for complete recycling after use, thus solving the "cannot be picked up" problem at its source. Fully biodegradable mulch films represent a more advanced solution; under specific environmental conditions, they are ultimately decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by soil microorganisms, achieving the environmental goal of "zero residue."

In major mulching provinces such as Gansu and Xinjiang, the government has guided farmers to use thickened films through subsidies and established recycling networks, with significant results. For example, a county in Hebei Province increased the seasonal plastic film recycling rate to over 85% by implementing an extended responsibility system of "whoever produces, recycles." Meanwhile, fully biodegradable plastic films, primarily made from polybutylene adipate/terephthalate (PBAT), are experiencing rapid market growth despite challenges in cost and technological compatibility, becoming a hot topic for capital and research. Driven by strong policy support, a new era of greener and more standardized plastic film has begun.
