HOW WATER SOLUBLE BAGS DISSOLVE

H2OK® water-soluble film bags (manufactured in custom thicknesses from 25 to 60 microns) dissolve completely on contact with hot water (70 °C or higher). They provide a high-strength, eco-friendly replacement for traditional polyethylene (PE) retail bags, helping commercial brands comply with international plastic reduction regulations.

H2OK BAGS ADVANTAGES

As a specialized water soluble retail bags manufacturer, H2OK provides sustainable retail solutions with significant advantages over conventional plastic (PP–PE) and compostable bags eliminating the need for industrial composting.

SOLUBLE IN WATER

H2OK retail and packaging bags dissolve completely without leaving residues when immersed in hot water above 70°C..

BIODEGRADABLE

Once dissolved in water, H2OK PVA bags naturally degrade into H2O, CO2, and mineralized biomass through microorganism action.

DOES NOT GENERATE MICROPLASTIC

Unlike conventional Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), or oxo-degradable plastics, dissolved H2OK bags generate zero microplastics.

ECO-FRIENDLY

Designed to dissolve safely in aqueous environments over time, preventing plastic pollution and harm to marine, river, or lake ecosystems.

RAINWATER RESISTANT

Formulated to withstand ambient humidity, condensation, and moderate rain during everyday retail carry-out and courier shipping.

EXTRA STRONG

Engineered from high-grade polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) film, providing superior tensile strength, tear resistance, and load capacity.

RECYCLABLE

H2OK water soluble film bags can be mechanically recycled alongside other PVA/PVOH materials or safely dissolved after use.

TRACEABILITY

Every production batch is fully traceable, guaranteeing commercial brands 100% original, certified, and eco-compliant retail bags.

PP-PE FREE

Certified 100% free of traditional Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) plastics by the LMPE laboratory in Italy.

H2OK – LMPE LABORATORY

The Ecocompatible Polymeric Materials Laboratory (LMPE) in Italy is Europe’s leading research center in the development of ecological polymers. In collaboration with our parent division INFHIDRO, LMPE continuously optimizes the PVOH formulation and certifies the technical, mechanical, and environmental performance of H2OK retail bags. Designed in Italy under strict European standards, our bags are certified 100% free of Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), heavy metals, and microplastics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a water-soluble synthetic organic polymer. Its unique property is its high tensile strength for commercial use combined with the ability to dissolve completely in hot water (>70°C) and biodegrade naturally in aqueous environments without leaving microplastics.

PVA is degraded through photothermal, oxidation, and biological processes (microbial and biochemical action). Scientific studies show that at least 20 different types of bacteria, molds, and yeasts degrade dissolved PVOH, turning it into water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and organic biomass.

PVA is completely non-toxic. It is widely used for packaging household and food products, in medical applications for coating oral capsules and tablets, as a component of artificial tears, and in the cosmetic sector. Toxicological studies confirm minimal absorption by the body and zero toxicity to aquatic organisms.

H2OK manufactures 6 specialized PVA film bag formats for supermarkets and grocery retail (T-shirt bags), fashion boutiques and pharmacies (die-cut bags), garment packaging (self-adhesive bags), e-commerce courier shipping (opaque mailer bags), commercial laundry and dry waste (liner bags), and pet care (flushable dog poo bags).

Unlike traditional plastics, PVA allows specific production formulas and custom film thicknesses (ranging from 25 to 60 microns) according to the customer’s desired application, required load capacity, and dissolution parameters.

Although biodegradable, the H2OK bag does not require any industrial composting facility for disposal. This makes it ideal for markets lacking industrial composting infrastructure required to break down bioplastics (*PBAT, PLA, starch). On the other hand, H2OK bags dissolve safely in hot water and aqueous environments (rivers, seas, lakes), whereas compostable bags do not.
