We are currently seeking sustainable alternatives to conventional plastic mulch sheets commonly used in agriculture for weed management. Specifically, we are interested in procuring biodegradable mulch sheets or paper sheets that fulfill the following essential criteria:
1. *Material*: Fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly (compostable preferred).
2. *Breathability*: Sheets must allow adequate airflow to the soil and plant roots to prevent overheating and promote healthy microbial activity.
3. *Water Permeability*: The material must allow natural percolation of water, supporting irrigation and natural rainwater penetration to maintain optimal moisture levels.
4. *Durability*: Capable of maintaining structural integrity for a complete crop cycle (minimum of 3-6 months), while effectively suppressing weeds.
5. *Dimensions*: Available in standard agricultural widths and lengths or customizable according to our farming requirements.
6. *Certification*: Compliance with international or national standards related to biodegradability and agricultural use is highly desirable (please specify any relevant certifications).
Please provide detailed information on:
