The base material we use in our garment bags is a polyvinyl alcohol, a material already well known as being biodegradable in both aerobic conditions (soil, compost & freshwater) and anaerobic conditions (sewerage & landfills) as well as dissolvable. You will likely have come across it as the plastic looking cover of your dishwasher tablets or in dissolvable surgical stitches.

It has taken 10 years of research and development to change the material into a hydrolised film.  The resulting material is Hydropol™ by British company Aquapak Polymers Ltd.

Eco Garment Bags are made using ground breaking technology that combines the positive attributes of single-use plastics (strength, transparency & durability), whilst causing no harm to the environment. They are made from Hydropol™, a unique technology developed by British company Aquapak Polymers Ltd)

With a variety of possible applications, Eco Garment Bags has selected this technology for the fashion industry to replace the single use polybag due to its clarity and strength of material and unbeatable end of life features.
