Introducing Nature Master®: Biodegradable Mulching Film with New Hole-Punched Option

Shoko Trading Co., Ltd. Expands Nature Master® Product Line

In response to the growing demands for increased agricultural productivity due to the aging workforce in agriculture, Shoko Trading Co., Ltd., a comprehensive trading company for chemicals, synthetic resins, metals, and ceramics, has unveiled a new addition to its lineup of products. Scheduled for launch in February 2025, the hole-punched variant of its biodegradable mulching film, Nature Master®, aims to enhance operational efficiency in agricultural practices.

Since its initial release, interest in the hole-punched mulching film has surged, prompting the company to officially open orders for this new type. Nature Master® was also showcased on TV Tokyo's show "Connecting with Green People," broadcasted on December 2, 2025, allowing viewers to familiarize themselves with its various agricultural applications.

Background of Product Line Expansion

Nature Master® is designed to break down naturally in the soil thanks to the action of microorganisms and return to the earth after a specified period. This environmentally-friendly mulching film eliminates the need for collection or industrial waste disposal, offering significant advantages over traditional mulching films. As a result, farmers can expect reduced labor burdens and improved productivity in the field.

The demand for hole-punched mulching films has been increasing, particularly due to labor shortages affecting many agricultural practices. Recognizing this need, Shoko Trading has decided to offer the hole-punched variant for sale.

Ordering Details: The hole-punched mulching film will be produced at partner factories, so customers are encouraged to submit specifications regarding size, quantity, and desired delivery dates for accurate estimates. For more information, please visit our contact page.
