End-of-season clean-up doesn’t have to mean hours spent collecting and transporting waste. With Teramax certified compostable mulch film, growers can finish the season simply disc it in and keep moving.


Designed to stay stable throughout the crop cycle, Teramax mulch film naturally transitions to a brittle state when it’s time to incorporate. Once disced in, it breaks down into carbon, biomass, and water, leaving soil ready to prep for the next round.

Less labour, less stress


Growers using Teramax often tell us how much time and cost they save by eliminating post-harvest film removal. There’s no lifting, stacking, or transport to manage  just smooth incorporation.

That means fewer logistics to coordinate, fewer disposal costs, and more time back to focus on the next planting window.



A simpler end-of-life: disc it iN


With Teramax, end-of-life is designed to be simple:

  1. Harvest as usual, remove crop and pull drip.
  2. Disc in the brittle film — it won’t foul machinery.
  3. Let the soil microbes work.
  4. Prepare beds for the next crop.


No trailer loads to the tip. No disposal paperwork anxiety.


Built for growers, backed by certification


Every roll of Teramax mulch film is certified home compostable, meaning it’s proven to break down under normal farm conditions with no industrial processing required. The end result is soil that’s free from toxins, microplastics, and heavy metals, and verified to be safe for earthworms.


And because Teramax is made for agriculture only, not packaging or consumer products, every design decision is made with growers’ needs in mind: performance, reliability and ease of use.



Confidence through the season


From lay to incorporation, Teramax performs with consistency and predictability. Growers can expect the same familiar application process, dependable performance, and clean integration into normal operations at the end of the cycle.


That’s the reliability Teramax is known for: season-ready, grower-tested, and field-proven.


Plan ahead


If you’re preparing for the next planting window, now’s the perfect time to secure your supply and stay ahead of schedule.
