At ARaymond Agriculture, we work to make growers daily work easier and move forward with them toward more efficient and sustainable agriculture.
Thanks to our experience in technological and agricultural innovation, we have developed a BIO range of biodegradable greenhouse clips, supports and twinte that combines resistance, efficiency and compostability.
These solutions help simplify growers’ work at the end of the plant’s life cycle, reducing the need to remove fastening materials once the crop has finished.
Our biodegradable range is designed for growers who want to maintain greenhouse performance and move toward more responsible crop waste management.
Why switch to biodegradable products in agriculture?
Biodegradable solutions for agriculture help respond to a growing need in professional cultivation: reducing the use of conventional plastic without giving up resistant, easy-to-install solutions.
In greenhouse crops, clips, supports and twines are part of the trellising system throughout the cycle. At the end of the season, these elements may remain mixed with plant residues, adding work when removing and managing crop waste.
The ARaymond Agriculture BIO range is designed to simplify this process. Its biodegradable and compostable solutions help reduce the task of removing fastening materials when plants have reached the end of their life cycle.
In addition, BIO products are certified according to NF EN 13432 / EN 13432, guaranteeing biodegradability under industrial composting conditions in accordance with the requirements of the European standard EN 13432.
Reducing the use of conventional plastic
The BIO range offers an alternative to conventional plastic solutions in agricultural fastening applications.
This allows growers to incorporate biodegradable and compostable products into the greenhouse while maintaining a practical solution for daily work.
Simplifying the end of the crop cycle
BIO products help simplify growers’ work when plants reach the end of their life cycle.
Once decomposed, the product materials serve as fertilizers, reducing the task of having to remove them from plants at the end of the cycle.
Maintaining technical performance in the crop
Biodegradable clips maintain the same mechanical properties as plastic clips.
For biodegradable supports, resistance and flexibility characteristics are practically identical to plastic versions.
