Soil Biodegradable Solutions for Agriculture and Forestry
Our Product Portfolio for Agriculture & Forestry
1. Biodegradable Wine & Tomato Clips
Stronger, reusable, and fully soil-biodegradable.
Thousands of plastic clips per hectare. These clips are never collected and contribute directly to microplastic contamination — including in wine.
OBSL clips are made from NaturTec® soil-biodegradable resin and engineered for durability.
-
Fully soil‑biodegradable
-
Reusable
-
Customisable
-
Same performance as plastic
-
Dramatically lower environmental impact
2. Biodegradable Pheromone Dispensers
Better performance than plastic — and zero environmental footprint.
Plastic pheromone dispensers fall to the ground after use and remain in soil for decades.
OBSL dispensers use a breathable, biobased polymer matrix that releases pheromones
more efficiently than conventional plastics
-
Enhanced release performance: The resin’s microporous structure allows faster, more consistent
-
pheromone diffusion.
-
Fully biodegradable — no collection required
-
Compatible with existing pest management systems
-
Safe for organic and regenerative agriculture
3. Biodegradable Tree Protectors
Protect young trees without leaving plastic in forests.
Conventional tree guards are made from rigid plastic. They are rarely collected and often litter forests, roadsides, and rewilding sites.
OBSL tree protectors biodegrade naturally after their functional life, protecting young trees without harming the ecosystem.
-
Designed for forestry & rewilding projects
-
Durable during the growth phase
-
Break down naturally in soil
-
Eliminate plastic pollution in forests and rural landscapes
4. Biodegradable Seedling Socks / Tree Netting
A safe alternative to Oxo-degradable and plastic netting.
These are not biodegradable and leave microplastics.
Other growers use standard plastic netting that ends up in a landfill.
OBSL seedling socks are made from certified biodegradable materials that break down naturally after use.
-
True biodegradation — not oxofragmentation
-
No microplastics
-
Strong, flexible, and compatible with existing netting machines
-
Ideal for Christmas tree farms and nurseries
Agriculture & Forestry Flooded with Unrecoverable Plastics
Across vineyards, orchards, vegetable farms, and reforestation projects, millions of small plastic components are used every year:
-
Tomato & vine clips
-
Pheromone dispensers
-
Tree protectors
-
Seedling socks/tree netting
They fall into soil, break down into microplastics, and accumulate year after year.
-
Microplastics detected in wine, soil, and groundwater
-
Plastic pollution in forests and natural habitats
-
Increased landfill waste
-
Regulatory pressure on growers and forestry operators
OBSL provides certified biodegradable, high‑performance alternatives that eliminate this problem at the source.
High‑performance + Certified
Biodegradable alternatives to replace persistent plastics in the field and forestry.
