Workshops with agri-plastic businesses involved in manufacturing, supplying and laying plastic mulches, as well as with those involved in legacy plastic retrieval, processing and recycling, will co-explore how plastic use can be reduced and what alternatives are best suited to different crops.

Some of the biodegradable films that are used in the mulch film degradation trial were manufactured by the BioComposites Centre at Bangor in collaboration with Wells Plastics.
