Aquapak is presenting its environmentally friendly Hydropol for the first time at K 2022. The high-performance polymer offers the required functionality. Recycling is to be increased and plastic pollution reduced.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The British company Aquapak<\/a> has successfully developed and marketed Hydropol. It is based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), is biodegradable and compostable, non-toxic to the environment and marine grade, so it has a safe end of life.<\/strong> if it is not disposed of as intended.<\/p>

Hydropol offers all the important functional properties required for packaging and can replace ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) in many applications<\/strong>. In extrusion coating or lamination on paper, Hydropol provides additional strength and barriers against oxygen, oil and grease, and its solubility allows for 100% recovery of paper fibres through paper recycling plants<\/strong>. It can be used for a range of products, including mailing bags for e-commerce and packaging for dried pet food, snacks, cooked meat and ready meals.<\/p>

\u201eHydropol offers an environmentally friendly alternative to other plastic packaging without compromising on functionality. We are delighted to be showcasing it for the first time at the K show as we anticipate high demand as interest in truly sustainable packaging solutions grows.\u201c<\/p>

Mark Lapping<\/strong>, CEO of Aquapak, comments<\/p><\/blockquote>

In response to the growing demand for sustainable solutions, Resinex, a pan-European distributor with a leading position in the plastics and rubber market, and Aquapak have recently signed an important new distribution agreement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Under this agreement, Resinex will distribute Hydropol on an exclusive basis as a barrier film in all European countries except Italy, Spain and Portugal. This comes at a time when the most commonly used oxygen barrier, EVOH, is currently in short supply worldwide and is only available through limited market channels.<\/p>
