Agriculture
Do you know how many more tons of food we would need to feed the whole planet?
By 2030, the world population will need 55% more food to survive. That is why, keeping food safety in mind, research and development is working on products which transform into greenhouse films or irrigation pipes and tunnels, thereby allowing us to triple crop output and satisfy the world's growing needs.
The predominant role that plastic pipes play in irrigation should not be forgotten. By covering the floor, they assure that absolutely no water escapes during the irrigation process. Plastic padding is essential for this aim.
Furthermore, reservoirs used for agricultural purposes are covered inside by plastic.
