Fashion’s Polybag Problem Dissolved​

Hydropol™ was specifically developed to help prevent the spread of persistent pollution from hard-to-recycle flexible plastics and polybags.

Our unique garment bags offer high performance for brands and retailers and hassle-free, environmentally safe end-of-life options for consumers.

What is Hydropol™?

Hydropol™ is an innovative polymer resin based on PVOH that has been enhanced by Aquapak to enable a wider range of processing and sustainable packaging applications to be developed for multiple markets.

In its pure monofilm form it is a perfect replacement for polybags. Hydropol™ is extremely durable, fully transparent and printable but after use can be dissolved or will biodegrade naturally leaving behind zero toxins or harmful microplastics. This also makes it safe for existing domestic recycling and waste management processes.

How can you dispose of your garment bag?

  • RECYLING Hydropol™ bags dissolve in the recycling process without contaminating other recyclable material so can be placed in your normal recycling bin. We’re also working with brand partners to reuse, collect and recycle bags wherever practical.
  • GENERAL WASTE Hydropol™ breaks down more quickly than traditional plastics in aerobic or anaerobic landfill without forming harmful microplastics or toxins.
  • DISSOLVE AT HOME Hydropol™ bags can be dissolved at home in hot water (+70˚C) and will biodegrade completely in domestic wastewater systems. See our video below for details. ​ ​ ​ ​
  • ​COMPOSTING Hydropol™ bags are safe to be composted but please note the speed of home composting is often variable dependent on composting conditions.
