What is water-soluble packaging?
Water-soluble packaging means that it is a type of packaging that can dissolve in hot water. Green Ocean Group’s products are not made out of actual plastic. Instead, their products are all made from a bio-based material that is sustainable and friendly to the environment.
The main ingredient in this bio-based material is polyvinyl alcohol, or PVOH for short, which is a synthetic polymer created without the heavy toxic metals that are often damaging to the planet. It’s also odourless, biodegradable, and water-soluble. Much like the wrapping film that you find on a dishwasher or laundry tablet, Green Ocean Group’s packaging dissolves when it comes into contact with boiling water.
Green Ocean GRoup water-soluble & compostable films are certified with ASTM D6400 (from the US), EN 13432 (from Europe), and GREENPLA (from Japan), the top level of compostable material standards and certifications. The AS4736 Australian certification of compostable material with Australasian Bioplastics Association (ABA) is in progress.
According to usage, the water-soluble packaging market can be divided into industrial and residential. In 2018, the industrial sector dominated the water-soluble packaging market. It is expected that the wide application of water-soluble packaging will increase the demand for this type of packaging in industrial applications in multiple industries such as food and beverages, chemicals, personal care and cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. In the past few years, water-soluble packaging has been widely used in the packaging of instant coffee. Similarly, in the agricultural sector, fertilizer packaging based on PVA film can ensure the safety of agricultural workers.
The water-soluble packaging market has been subdivided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America accounted for the largest share of the global water-soluble packaging market, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific in 2018. The largest share of the regional market is mainly attributed to the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical and healthcare industries in the United States and Canada. The increasing demand for sustainable packaging options and strict government regulations regarding the use of single-use plastics are the main factors driving the North American water-soluble packaging market. Governments have also taken measures to promote the use of sustainable packaging.
