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.
How to use CORDENKA® Growth correctly
CORDENKA application guidelines provide specific information on the correct use of the products in greenhouses.

Bio-based, compostable and bio-degradable
Plant stems wrapped with CORDENKA® Growth do not need to be separated from the cord before disposal.
Sustainable secondary utilisation of the chopped plant stems for composting and biogas production is becoming increasingly important.
The use of CORDENKA® Growth has a considerable cost-saving effect compared to the disposal of plastic twines.
Certified sustainability
CORDENKA® Rayon is certified as a bio-based material according to ASTM D 6866:2022 and ASTM D 6866:2024.
It is also certified as a home and garden compostable material in accordance with NF T51-800:2015.
For the production of CORDENKA® Rayon, only cellulose pulp made from plantation wood from responsible sources is used.

Ecological sustainability at CORDENKA: responsible production, bio-based materials, sustainable innovations.
Our COO Dr. Joachim Leeb demonstrated at Mittelstand.Praxis in Aschaffenburg how AI models facilitate production at CORDENKA—with greater transparency, less routine work, and noticeable relief.
