Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in horticulture. Many growers use the non-biodegradable PP (polypropylene) twine in their cultivation. Royal Brinkman has a sustainable alternative: Cordenka® Growth twine. The twine is made of viscose. The material consists of wood fibers and thin lines of cotton. This makes Cordenka® Growth fully biodegradable. The twine is both industrially compostable and home compostable with the EN 13432 and OK compost HOME labels. Cordenka® Growth is available as Cordenka® Growth 500 GA01, Growth 350 GA01 and Cordenka® Growth 420 AC.
Breaking force
The twine has a high minimum breaking force, but this decreases during cultivation in the greenhouse. The load capacity is between 27 and 42 kg, depending on the thickness of the twine. Please get good advice on this from one of the specialists at Royal Brinkman.
Note: Compostable and biodegradable products have a limited shelf life and should be stored in a dry place, in the original boxes out of sunlight and at a temperature between 5° C - 20° C.
