Introduction The adoption of water-soluble films, predominantly composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), presents a compelling advancement in sustainable packaging technologies. Despite seeming to be counterintuitive, these films are gaining traction across multiple sectors, including agrochemicals and personal care, due to their eco-friendly characteristics. Water-soluble films exhibit complete dissolution in aqueous environments, leaving behind no toxic residues, which aligns with the increasing demand for biodegradable & sustainable materials. Their structural properties, including high tensile strength and flexibility, along with the ability to tailor solubility profiles, make them highly versatile for a range of industrial applications. As the global focus shifts toward sustainable practices, PVOH-based films are increasingly positioned as the material of choice in the quest for greener packaging solutions. What Are Water-Soluble Films? Water-soluble films are specialized packaging materials that dissolve in water without ...
