Concerns with labor and environmental costs of end-of-season disposal [of synthetic mulches] have led to the development of woven fabric mulches that can be used for 8–12 years, and of biodegradable paper mulches designed to suppress weeds for one season and decompose after harvest. 3, record 1, English, - biodegradable%20mulch%20film

Depuis quelques années, on a vu apparaître sur le marché de nouveaux paillis biodégradables fabriqués principalement à base d’amidon de maïs. Il s’agit donc là d’une solution de remplacement des films de polyéthylènes conventionnels. Toutefois, ces films biodégradables sont produits à partir de ressources alimentaires, ce qui s’avère un choix discutable au niveau du développement durable. Un paillis fabriqué à partir de fibre de papier recyclé pourrait s’avérer une alternative aux paillis traditionnels fabriqués à base de polyéthylène ou à base d'amidon de maïs. 2, record 1, French, - paillis%20biod%C3%A9gradable

Un matériau est biodégradable s’il peut être utilisé par les micro-organismes comme nutriments. Le résultat de la biodégradation doit être de l’eau, du gaz carbonique et/ou méthane, avec éventuellement production d’une nouvelle biomasse non toxique pour l’environnement. 3, record 1, French, - paillis%20biod%C3%A9gradable
