HOME CLEANING PACKAGING

Environmentally Friendly Packaging for Home Cleaning Products

Although plastic recycling initiatives continue to be a focus for most brands and their public facing commitments, the reality is that plastic recycling rates in the US are at an alarming low rate of 5% for households. Many home cleaning products fall into this category by not being recycled properly or at all and are simply discarded, ending up in the landfill.

It’s time for the market to embrace new materials innovation in addition to investing in improved recycling infrastructure and consumer awareness. SmartSolve has a unique offering for home cleaning products in our water-soluble “dissolvable” face stock, label stock, and pouch stock categories.

According to an independent laboratory, our label technology has proven to improve the recyclability of PET plastics because the label washes off entirely during the recycling wash process, leaving behind a pure plastic granule. While our pouch stock has the potential to transform the mono-dose unit for product portioning in laundry and dish applications with printed applications possible. Imagine your next dish tablet that has safety warnings and other relevant information printed right on it.
