EcoCover

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EcoCover Limited of New Zealand has used biomimicry principles to develop an organically certified biodegradable mulch mat made from shredded waste paper bound with fish paste. The product, a substitute for black plastic sheeting used in agriculture, reduces the need for pesticides, conserves water, improves soil, and diverts fish waste and waste paper from landfills.[1][2][3]
