Dissolvable Bin Liners | A Cleaner, Plastic-Free Waste Solution

Plastic bin liners are convenient—but their environmental toll is undeniable. Zero Pac’s dissolvable bin liners offer a smarter, more sustainable option for waste and laundry handling in both commercial and domestic settings. Whether in aged care, hospitality, or home use, these liners contain waste efficiently and dissolve completely—leaving no plastic behind.

What Are Dissolvable Bin Liners?

Dissolvable bin liners are made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), a water-soluble, non-toxic material. These liners function like traditional plastic bags but dissolve in hot water (65°C or higher). Instead of removing the bag and sending it to landfill, users can simply place it in a hot wash or pour boiling water over it. The liner breaks down entirely—no fragments, no mess, no microplastics.

Why Switch to Dissolvable Liners?

With growing regulations on single-use plastics and increasing demand for eco-conscious alternatives, dissolvable liners are a future-forward solution. They are:

• Plastic-free and non-toxic
• Marine-safe and biodegradable
• Hygienic and residue-free
• Easy to use and dispose of

These qualities make them ideal for sectors prioritising cleanliness, speed, and sustainability—especially healthcare, aged care, commercial laundries, hospitality, and eco-conscious households.

How They Work

1. Line Your Bin – Use like a normal bag.
2. Fill with Waste – Suitable for laundry, soft waste, or compostables.
3. Seal the Bag – Tie off when full.
4. Dissolve in Hot Water – Place directly into a washing machine or pour boiling water over the bag.
5. Watch It Vanish – The liner fully dissolves, flowing safely down the drain.

This process eliminates extra handling, reduces exposure to soiled contents, and removes the need for landfill disposal.

Material Benefits: What is PVOH?

PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) is a biodegradable, hot water-soluble polymer widely used in medical and hygiene industries. It is:

• Completely dissolvable at 65°C+

• Safe for humans, animals, and waterways

• Odourless, colourless, and residue-free

• Biodegradable in the right conditions

It provides a clean, eco-conscious alternative to plastic with no compromise on hygiene or performance.
