Biodegradable weed control sheet "Osumi-tsuki(R)" by Yagi Textile Industry, considering environmental impact.

Yagi Textile Industry Co., Ltd. has been engaged in the development of weed control sheets that can contribute to a low-carbon society amid concerns about rising sea levels and extreme weather due to global warming. The most environmentally friendly approach to weed control might be to leave everything to nature and let it be. However, the proliferation of weeds not only deteriorates the landscape but also leads to visibility issues, allergen dispersion, and the emergence of pests and diseases, making it something that cannot be ignored. This necessitates regular weeding, which can be a significant workload, and the use of strong herbicides can reduce soil fertility and potentially destroy ecosystems. Therefore, one method is to lay down weed control sheets in areas where weed proliferation is to be avoided, but conventional weed control sheets have two environmental burden factors. One is that the materials used in the manufacturing of the sheets are derived from petroleum. The other is that the disposal of the sheets after degradation can generate a lot of CO2. The weed control sheet developed by Yagi Textile Industry, "Osumi Tsuki(R)," thoroughly eliminates these two environmental burden factors.
