Hydrox Technologies is an Australian agricultural plastics manufacturing company. Hydrox Technologies has developed Solar Shrink, the only mulch film which shrinks in sunlight, hugging tight to the growing bed. The product is stronger than conventional mulch, while also being thinner and cheaper as well. Our goal is to minimise harmful impacts associated with the use of plastics in agriculture, we are exporting this Australian innovation to the rest of the world. Hydrox Technologies is focused on the implementation of whole of life solutions to the problem of agricultural waste disposal, giving farmers the choice and ability to make educated, intelligent decisions about their plastics usage and cost effective options for its disposal. The development of Solar Shrink mulch films, gives farmers the ability to use up to 50% less plastic in their farming practice with no trade-off in strength or durability and the benefit of a mulch film which stays tight on the bed. The mulch film can be laid faster with less tension, and will tighten on the bed when exposed to the sun. Hydrox Technologies is committed to the Research and Development of a Biodegradable alternative to conventional mulch film that is both economically viable and ecologically responsible.
