 How Small Dissolvable Singlet Bags Support Zero-Waste Workflows+ 

Retail staff hand bags to customers at checkout for carrying groceries, clothing, books, or pharmacy items. Customers carry purchases using the integrated loop handles without plastic waste entering landfills or waterways. After shopping, customers repurpose bags as kitchen caddy liners for organic waste collection.

Kitchen staff place bags inside countertop caddies and fill with vegetable peelings, fruit scraps, and compostable food waste. When full, staff tie the loop handles together to seal contents. The sealed bag goes directly into commercial digesters or municipal green waste bins where hot water processing dissolves the PVOH film completely within 3 to 5 minutes.

Healthcare workers use bags for contaminated items requiring infection control without leaving plastic residue. Staff seal items inside bags and dispose according to facility protocols. The water-soluble material supports both environmental compliance and infection control requirements simultaneously.

 
 Water-Soluble PVOH vs Traditional Plastic: Why It Matters+ 

Traditional plastic singlet bags fragment into microplastics that contaminate landfills, waterways, and composting systems for centuries. Water-soluble PVOH singlet bags dissolve completely in hot water above 60°C, breaking down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass without leaving microplastics behind. The material is marine safe and non-toxic, protecting aquatic ecosystems if bags enter waterways while enabling clean organic waste processing in commercial composting facilities.

 Frequently Asked Questions 
 Will bags dissolve if they get wet during shopping or in rain?+ 

No. Bags remain stable with brief moisture exposure or damp contents. Dissolution requires sustained contact with hot water above 60°C. Light rain or wet produce will not trigger dissolution, though prolonged moisture exposure over days may weaken bags stored improperly.

 
 Are these bags food-safe for groceries and fresh produce?+ 

Yes. PVOH film is food-safe and suitable for carrying groceries, fresh produce, packaged foods, and retail items. Bags should not be used for long-term food storage but work well for shopping transport and short-term use.

 
 Can customers reuse bags for multiple shopping trips?+ 

Bags are designed for single use but can be reused if kept completely dry between uses. Moisture exposure during storage between shopping trips may weaken material. Traditional reusable bags serve better for repeat shopping, while dissolvable bags excel as plastic-free single-use alternatives.

 
 Do bags work in home compost bins or only commercial facilities?+ 

Bags work best in commercial digesters and composting facilities with hot water dissolution systems. Home compost bins typically lack sufficient heat and moisture to dissolve bags effectively. Check with your municipal composting program before use. Bags biodegrade in landfill conditions but more slowly than in hot composting systems.

 
 How much weight can the handles support without tearing?+ 

Bags support typical small shopping loads with 3x LDPE strength rating. Handles work well for groceries, pharmacy items, books, and light retail purchases. Avoid overloading beyond reasonable shopping quantities. The 150mm gusset provides capacity for bulkier items while maintaining handle strength.
