How do we make hard-to-recycle flexible packaging a thing of the past? With #hydropol hitting the shelves in our supermarkets this could now be a reality for the snack packaging sector, and in many other FMCG areas too. Our latest research asked consumers if they thought retailers and brands could be doing more to reduce the recycling burden and stop plastic pollution from packaging. The response was an overwhelming YES. Check out the highlights below for more insights. https://lnkd.in/er-e9vNc #switchtohydropol #sustainablepackaging #aquapak #newmaterials #leavenotrace

Packaging regulation is gradually evolving to promote safer and more sustainable materials but this doesn't mean brands need to wait to take positive action. The solutions exist now! #switchtohydropol #sustainablepackaging #newmaterials #leavenotrace

Fantastic to see #hydropol running through the line really well for Caroboo as part of Evopak RCM packaging. 👏 #switchtohydropol #sustainablepackaging #newmaterials #aquapak

We're very excited to see #hydropol innovation coming to market very soon in a remarkable new application that promises to have a huge impact on the global wet wipes category. Introducing the first truly dissolvable wet-wipe from KINDCLOTH™

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.

🗑️ Advances in the development of biopolymers and alternative plastics could help address the mountains of plastic waste produced each year reports The Engineer UK's Andrew Wade. 🔥 Around 450 million tonnes of #plasticwaste is generated globally each year, with less than 10 per cent recycled. The remainder is incinerated, sent to landfill or littered, with an estimated 2 million tonnes washing into our oceans. 💡 In the absence of a global agreement, the best hope for tackling the plastics crisis may lie with technology - tweaking plastics to make them biodegradable or replacing petrochemical feedstocks with plant material. And with a global plastics market north of $700 billion - set to top $1 trillion by 2033 – the incentive is financial as much as it’s environmental.

Check out the interview with our CEO Mark Lapping in this month's edition of The Engineer UK. For their Plastic Planet special Mark outlines the versatility of #hydropol packaging solutions in the biopolymers and new materials feature (pg 18-19). "We first make sure the packaging application you're using #hydropol for fits the conditions of use, but at the end-of-life you also know it's going to break down safely" #switchtohydropol #newmaterials #polymerscience #sustainablepackaging
