The use of CORDENKA Growth® eliminates the risk of micro plastic pollution from horticultural twine application in greenhouses. A major waste problem thus turns into sustainable secondary use options such as compost and biogas utilization.
Bio-degradable CORDENKA® Growth horticultural cords are available on industrial scale for global supply. The product family has proven its reliability and holds the position as leading horticultural bio twine in modern tomato greenhouses today.
High tensile strength and efficiency
CORDENKA® Growth bio-degradable horticultural cords stand out due to their high specific strength and enable excellent material yields in m/kg with given strengths. The cords are made from cellulose pulp, based on sustainable forestry.

Crop climbing support turns into compost or biogas
CORDENKA® Growth was developed for use in highly productive glass greenhouses that are operated in soilless cultivation methods. The use of CORDENKA® Growth instead of plastic twines eliminates the risk of twine-related micro plastic pollution from the cultivation of greenhouse crops and turns waste problems into sustainable second use options.
CORDENKA® Growth AC product line
The CORDENKA® Growth AC product line offers cords in different tensile strength levels for different crop weights. The most common variants of the product family are the 250 AC, 360 AC, and 420 AC grades, with the numbers indicating the initial average breaking forces of the cords in newton. Color variations are available for all members of the product family.
CORDENKA application guidelines provide specific information on the correct use of the products in greenhouses. Find the corresponding documents in the download section below.
Composting and biogas production
Plant stems wrapped with CORDENKA® Growth cords enable sustainable second use options such as home and industrial scale composting.
Such environmentally friendly end-of-season treatment options are worthwhile for more and more growers around the world, as they can save high costs increasingly associated with the disposal of plant stem and plastic twine mixed materials.
Mixed materials of simultaneously chopped plant stems and CORDENKA® Growth cords can also be used for biogas production. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
CORDENKA® Rayon is certified as a bio-based, compostable and bio-degradable material. For its production, CORDENKA only uses cellulose pulp made from plantation wood from responsible sources.
