Five Stages of Degradation
Cracking begins around day 90, fully degraded within 360 days
01Induction
About 90 days after laying, tiny pinholes appear on the surface — UV has begun the breakdown.
02Cracking
Visible cracks form — water and air now pass through into the soil.
03Rapid Breakdown
Strength drops sharply as microbes take over, driving rapid breakdown.
04Fragmentation
Breaks into small pieces — no manual collection needed, decomposition continues.
05Fully Gone
Disappears within 360 days, breaking down into water, CO₂ and organic matter, returning to the soil.
ADVANTAGE
No collection, no recycling
— saves labor every season
