Did you know that wet-wipes account for 93% of material causing sewer blockages? Introducing Hydropol? Nonwoven fibre technology. A game-changer for multiple applications, the first of which is a new wet-wipe that dissolves safely in water in seconds leaving no harmful microplastics behind. This latest #hydropol innovation helps prevent the problem of blocked sewers and fatbergs that form when when plastic fibre-based hygiene products are flushed. We worked closely with Innovatec Microfibre Technology and dissolvable wipe developer, KINDCLOTH?, who've patented the dissolvable wet-wipe technology. This collaboration enabled the conversion of #hydropol into meltblown nonwoven fibres in a single-step process to create the innovative material. Discover more on this exciting new development for #hydropol here. https://lnkd.in/e3n5zATM #aquapak #hydropol #nonwovens #sustainablescience #newmaterials #polymers #switchtohydropol

Join us for a groundbreaking celebration of 10,000 packaging innovations, this June!

The straw that broke the camel's back? Whether it's plastic, paper or preferably no straw at all, just moving to paper packaging because it is easier to recycle is not the complete answer. Sustainable packaging still has to perform and function properly if consumers and brands are to be persuaded to move away from conventional plastics. The good news is that new materials already exist that allow brands to hit sustainability targets without compromising packaging performance. We invented #hydropol to provide the performance and functionality of plastic, but without the problematic end-of-life. Hydropol can be used on its own, combined with paper or other packaging materials to add strength and provide an excellent barrier to oxygen, grease, oils and fats. It is thermally processable on current packaging machinery, is marine-safe, biodegrades naturally and improves recyclability, effectively eliminating the risk of persistent plastic pollution in the environment. When packaging reaches the end of its life #hydropol safely dissolves and breaks down leaving nothing behind but CO2, water and biomass.
