Hydropol by Aquapak - Recyclable packaging

Plastic is ubiquitous in today's society. A great amount of plastic is specifically flowing into the packaging industry. However, economical and technical limitations cause most plastic packaging to have a linear and unsustainable life, often characterized by a very short use phase.

Hydropol™ Technology has all the benefits of plastics and enables multiple end of life options. Hydropol™ technology has "cracked the code" on sustainable plastic to facilitate the circular economy. It is a soluble and safe polymer that dissolves completely in water, leaving zero waste.

Being water-soluble Hydropol™ is inherently biodegradable, non-toxic and marine safe. Products made with Hydropol™ are safe for existing recycling processes and fully biodegradable should they enter the environment. If Hydropol™ enters the natural environment it will completely biodegrade into carbon dioxide, water and mineralized natural biomass.

Hydropol™ is highly scalable and used in a diverse range of packaging applications. Consumers and businesses are increasingly concerned about plastic pollution and environmental sustainability. Packaging producers need solutions. Hydropol™ is a performance polymer that dissolves and it is being adopted everywhere. The company has partnered with a growing base of clients in apparel, fashion, hospitality, healthcare, food packaging, logistics packaging, industrial, non-wovens, and other packaging. Hydropol™ is an enabling technology that when used in combination with other materials can make unrecyclable packaging fully recyclable within existing waste streams. A win for the environment.
