This paper examines the development of starch‐based plastics for use as biodegradable mulch film. A variety of starch‐based polymers are blended with high performance biodegradable polyester polymers in order to determine the applicability of films to be processed on a film blowing line and to perform well in mulch film field trials. The process of material formulation, film blowing processing and scale‐up and performance properties are highlighted for a successful material. Insights into future developments of starch‐derived biodegradable polymers are given.
