Dissolve+™: The Ideal Platform for Eco-Friendly Packaging Innovation
In a world where plastic pollution is overwhelming oceans and landfills, brands are racing to find eco-friendly packaging solutions. Dissolve+™, a patented platform untied to any single material, provides an all-encompassing solution. Dissolve+™ technology integrates biodegradable, water-soluble materials from multiple suppliers and formats to offer a flexible system. It integrates a multi-layer architecture for packaging containers comprised of water-soluble, non-toxic, biodegradable and food-safe materials that enable vessels to dissolve and disintegrate entirely without releasing microplastics and harmful substances into the environment.
Dissolve+™: An Adaptive and Open Platform for Collaboration
The Dissolve+ system pairs a water-soluble inner structure with a thin biodegradable outer layer. The two layers work together to hold contents safely, then degrade without residue in water, soil, or marine ecosystems.
Dissolve+™ doesn’t dictate what those layers are made from but rather sets the performance criteria. That means materials like MOWIFLEX™, Timeplast, or starch-based bioplastics can be used as long as they meet the bar for water solubility, biodegradation, and food safety.
Dissolve+™ invites collaboration from polymer scientists, coating specialists, packaging converters, and sustainability leaders. A new additive or resin doesn’t need its own container. It can plug into this system, speeding time-to-market and reducing risk..
Why Sustainability Demands Material-Agnostic Platforms
Dissolve+™ is material-agnostic, accommodating many materials as long as they meet shared performance standards. It’s a system that doesn’t depend on one formulation. This approach avoids lock-in, encourages faster innovation, and reduces vendor dependency.
Dissolve+™ stipulates a water-soluble inner core and an outer coating that is food-safe and breaks down naturally. The platform itself remains stable and compliant. The core could be PVA, MOWIFLEX™, TIMEPLAST, or another water soluble and non-toxic substance, while the inner and outer layer can be any FDA approved food-safe material.
This flexibility gives Dissolve+™ a considerable advantage. New materials can be tested and validated without needing a full redesign of the product or supply chain. That makes it responsive, ready for new regulations, local conditions, or emerging scientific discoveries.
RTS reports that an estimated 75-199 million tonnes of plastic are currently floating in our oceans. That number rises by 33 billion pounds annually, highlighting the urgency for scalable and dissolvable alternatives. According to Condor Ferries, the global production of plastic now exceeds 460 million tonnes annually, and over 51 trillion microplastic particles are polluting our seas, causing untold damage to marine life and biological systems.The Oceana campaign on plastics emphasizes that nearly 40% of all plastic produced is used for packaging, with the vast majority ending up in landfills or the ocean, hence the urgent need to embrace eco-friendly packaging solutions on a global scale.
As governments intensify their crackdown on single-use plastics, companies must pivot fast. California’s SB54, the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive, and the upcoming UN Global Plastics Treaty are already reshaping supply chains. Material-specific systems that rely on industrial composting or precise disposal methods often fail in real-world use as they don’t fulfill food-safe or biodegradibility standards,
Dissolve+™, a materials-agnostic platform, eliminates that risk. The systems adapts to materials that degrade in ambient conditions, with no industrial heat, and no complex sorting. Dissolve+ depends on water-soluble materials and by staying open, it can evolve alongside scientific breakthroughs in bioplastics and coatings. A recent SPC 2025 Packaging Trends Report supports this view: scalable sustainability depends on systems that don’t depend on rigid formulas.
Sandbox Innovation: Flexibility Speeds Time to Market
Most packaging solutions fail to scale because they rely on bespoke designs, proprietary resins, or hard-to-source inputs. Dissolve+™ flips that by enabling innovation inside a known and licensed architecture.
The sandbox model has several benefits:
Suppliers can test new water-soluble polymers without altering core specs
Manufacturers use existing equipment, like thermoforming or injection lines
Sustainability teams can A/B test degradation under real-world conditions
Material agnosticism becomes a form of resilience. If one input fails a test or becomes cost-prohibitive, another can replace it, without breaking the system. That’s key in regions with fluctuating supply chains or shifting compliance norms.
