Compostable twine
Compostable twine saves waste stream handling costs
Senbis has developed a compostable twine/ rope for the horticulture industry for growing tomatoes, cucumber and bell peppers.
As the twine is fully industrial compostable it saves a grower significant costs in the waste stream handling. At the end of the year the plants have to be shredded and disposed. If conventional plastic twine is used the plants cannot be composted as the plastic twine is intermingled in the plants.
The performance of the twine is comparable to the conventional twine and brings no disadvantages.
Industrial compostable according to EN 13432
100% biobased
Very high UV resistance
Relative high creep resistance
Current status
This product has been fully developed by Senbis and has been extensively tested in glass houses for multiple years together with industry partners.
The horticulture distributor Royal Brinkmann sells the product exclusively under the brandname BioValent.
