Objective
Operation factsheet · Annex VIII COMPETE2030
BIOFERTILÃ aims to develop an innovative, multifunctional biofilm to mitigate climate change, reduce the use of plastics in agriculture and add value to waste and by-products.
This biodegradable biofilm will act as a soil-covering mulch, replacing conventional plastic films. It will use agricultural and forestry residues and unused wool to obtain biochar, inoculated with microorganisms and finished with biodegradable resins, to achieve physical properties similar to plastic and a storage life of more than one year.
