Manufacturer of water-soluble bags in custom sizes. Bags are designed to isolate, store and transport contaminated laundry. Bags are reusable and secure with water-soluble tie tapes.
These bags are ideal for hospitals and nursing homes that want to minimize contact between staff and soiled linen. They also allow operators to presort laundry without having to touch dirty or contaminated clothing.
1. Know Your Materials
In a world where plastic waste is growing at an alarming rate, the need for water-soluble bags has become more important than ever. These eco-friendly bags are made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and can dissolve completely in hot water, leaving no residue or sediment. The bags are also non-polluting and non-toxic and do not contain any oil or other harmful substances.
Unlike traditional plastics, which can take years to break down and pollute the environment, water-soluble bags will naturally degrade in just three months. This makes them a great option for businesses that want to reduce their environmental impact and appeal to environmentally conscious customers.
PVA-based water-soluble bags are often used in hospitals, nursing homes, and healthcare facilities to conceal contaminated laundry. This allows workers to handle the contaminated clothes without putting their hands in direct contact with them. The bags are then tossed into the washing machine, where they dissolve into water and leave no trace of the chemicals they contained.
2. Know Your Applications
Using PVA bags, manufacturers can produce water-soluble packaging to help their customers safely store dry chemicals, agrochemicals and medical applications. The pouches prevent human contact or exposure to dangerous compounds and dissolve in hot and cold water, leaving no residue. They are available in a variety of stock sizes, contain a heat-seal coating and are environmentally sustainable.
These types of pouches are especially popular in the textile industry. They can be used to hold chemical powders that are needed for the dyeing process. This allows the operators to handle them without having to touch them directly, making it safer for them to do so.
Another application for these pouches is in laundry facilities. They are ideal for storing and transporting contaminated clothing so that it can be cleaned and disinfected without anyone having to come in contact with it directly. This eliminates the need for workers to wear protective equipment and reduces the risk of contamination.

Many water-soluble bag manufacturers suggest that their PVA-based hot water-soluble polybags are a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true, especially when it comes to their carbon footprint.
To truly reduce the impact of their manufacturing process on the environment, they need to take a holistic approach that takes into account all aspects of production and disposal. This includes calculating the total lifecycle of the raw material, the polythene used to manufacture the bags, and then the energy required to extract, produce and transport this polythene to the manufacturing plant and make the bags.
