Feminine Care

Environmentally Friendly Packaging for Feminine Care

The average woman will use between 5 and 15 thousand feminine care products throughout her lifetime. Most of the major period care brands are using plastic PE films for wrappers, which are not recyclable due to recycling regulations. As a result, these products end up in landfills where they can take up to 500 years to decompose. Isn’t it time to consider alternative materials that can help to shape a better future for us all?

SmartSolve offers a unique line of water-soluble raw materials with a flushable end of life for feminine care product packaging. Our dissolvable raw materials can be used in both primary packaging (think tampon or pad wrapper!) as well as secondary packaging applications. With the mission to make packaging no longer trash, SmartSolve’s X-Series pouch stock is flushable, per FG 502 Series testing, the same assessment used to certify toilet paper and wipes.

These flushable wrappers dissolve in water quickly and leave zero waste behind.
