Hilaturas Mar’s Hortimar® twines can be used for a wide variety of cultivations, such as tomatoes, cantaloupes, cucumbers, aubergines, peppers, beans, peas, zucchinis, or grapevines, just to name a few. All of their horticulture twines for supporting crops in greenhouses are compostable and biodegradable.
“Since the beginning, Hilaturas Mar has been a company that cares for the environment, recycling textile waste. Nowadays, although the production covers a wide range of products with different compositions, we always prioritize compostable materials such as viscose, jute, paper, viscose, or cotton,” says Rafael Barceló, Manager & Product Development of Hilaturas Mar.
"Our best and most efficient twine is the Hortimar LENZING™ Lyocell twine meant for greenhouse applications. The twine is ultra-soft, flexible, easy to manipulate, high in performance, high in strength/length ratio, and has a low elongation. Our clients for North Africa and Nordic countries have been using compostable twines for their pepper and tomato crops for the past year, with remarkable results. The twines offered the necessary support for their plants, improved the brand image due to its sustainable properties, and saved a significant amount of money,” says Rafael.
A customer of Hilaturas Mar, who preferred not to reveal their name, shared their assessment of the product as well.
“We used to use traditional plastic twines, which had to be manually removed from the plants at the end of the season. This was a time-consuming process that required extra labor and higher operator costs. With compostable twines, we no longer need to spend hours removing plastic waste from our fields. We simply leave the twines in place when the season ends. They enrich the soil, contributing to the enrichment of our compost, thus reducing our operator costs and eliminating the need for landfill disposal. In addition, our commitment to sustainability has been greatly enhanced by this eco-friendly solution. Our customers appreciate our efforts to be greener and sustainable.”
