GLOBAL PLASTIC PRODUCTION & WASTE
460 Million Tons of plastic produced each year turns into 353 Million Tons of plastic waste each year.

The everyday small decisions we make, including the products we purchase and how we dispose of them, makes a difference for our planet. Individuals and families can create positive change by choosing products that offer zero waste packaging.

Studies show, recycling alone is not enough to dramatically alter the future of our planet. The reality is, our current practices are not sustainable. Earth is experiencing a crisis in waste and pollution and plastic packaging represents a major share. But what if our product packaging was not destined to spend eternity in a landfill or on our ocean floors and shores?
SmartSolve water-soluble “dissolvable” materials offer brands the opportunity to rethink their approach to product packaging. Made from wood pulp fibers and cellulose, SmartSolve paper-based materials disperse completely when in contact with water. Zero waste has never been more possible than with SmartSolve.
SmartSolve label technology is proven by an independent lab to improve the recyclability of PET plastics, since both the face of the label and the adhesive washes off entirely during the recycling wash process, leaving behind a pure plastic granule.
SmartSolve is the perfect solution for brands looking for sustainable, on-shelf, prime labels for retail applications. Our materials compliment any reuse initiative or temporary label application.
