A silage wrapper is an agricultural implement that wraps bales of silage. Its advantages include being biodegradable and environmentally friendly. In addition, it helps protect bales from microbes, making them suitable for any climate. Its features make it a good choice for any farmer.
Biodegradable
Biodegradable silage wrap is a greener and faster way to package forage. The film lasts six months, while other bio-based products have a shorter shelf life. In addition, biodegradable silage wraps can help reduce air pollution and release less toxic residues into the environment.
Biodegradable silage wrap is also much cheaper than plastic covers. It costs around $1.30 less per roll than its plastic counterpart. Silage wraps are already cheap enough, so biodegradable silage wraps are a better value for your money. It also helps the environment by breaking down, which reduces waste in landfills.
Biodegradable silage wrap is a relatively new product, but it has already been well-received by farmers and is becoming a top choice for many. It complements silages in a variety of ways. In addition, it does not contain any plastic or synthetic materials, meaning the material is biodegradable.
Environmentally friendly
Using environmentally friendly silage wrap is a great way to minimize your carbon footprint and improve the quality of your products. It provides excellent protection and airtightness and is available in various materials. Trioplast, for example, offers a premium silage stretch film called Triowrap BIO, made from fossil-free green polyethylene and sugarcane feedstock. In addition to being environmentally friendly, it has excellent ensiling and wrapping properties.
This biopolymer was created by PhD students at Imperial College London and is used for silage and hay. While developing the material, the students noticed that their cows left a lot of waste in their feed. In one case, one cow had even died from eating the plastic, prompting the researchers to devise a solution. The biopolymer could be laced with nutrients and probiotics to increase its nutritional value. Next, the researchers will conduct testing to see if the new silage wrap is safe and will improve the health of the cows who use it.
Protects bales from microbes
Silage wrap protects bales from spoilage and microbes by restricting airflow and locking out oxygen. If oxygen can reach the hay, microbes consume the nutrients and produce heat, destroying the crop. In addition, limiting oxygen will help preserve the nutritional value of livestock.
Another benefit of silage wrap is its environmental friendliness. It is completely biodegradable and safe for use by both farmers and the environment. Furthermore, it is a cost-effective solution for temporary storage. It is also recyclable. It will help farmers preserve their crops and avoid the negative impact on the environment.
Pests are another risk factor when it comes to bale degradation. Not only do they eat your crop, but they can also cause diseases in your cattle. A solution to this problem is a silage wrap made with a repellent that will keep rats, mice, and birds out. The product is also environmentally friendly, containing no chemicals or harmful substances. In addition, it can last for two years without losing its effectiveness.
Suitable for all climates
Climates are determined by latitude, elevation, topography, and distance from the ocean. For example, West Africa experiences a tropical climate close to the Equator and sits at the intertropical convergence zone, where moist trade winds meet dry air. As a result, the climate is relatively mild throughout the year, but winters can be very cold.
Sold by SABIC
Silage wrap films are used in agriculture and horticulture to improve fodder quality and milk and flesh output. In addition, these films are also used as a wrap for garbage. They are predominantly available in black colour and are highly tear-resistant. They are also available in a custom-printed option. For example, a company can use a custom-printed logo on its silage wrap films to improve branding.
SABIC operates two large production sites in Saudi Arabia, Yanbu and Al-Jubail. These facilities are home to 19 world-scale complexes, including partnerships with multinational companies. Overall production capacity has grown from around 27 million metric tons in 2001 to 49.1 million metric tons in 2006, making it the world’s largest silage wrap producer.
