Hydropol™ Pellets to make digestible Food Waste Bags for Anaerobic Digestion
Waste & Recycling Industry
Information
Aquapak’s innovative polymer resin, Hydropol™, is sold to our ever growing network of packaging manufacturers.
We provide all the technical assistance required to the packaging Manufacturer to enable them to process our specialty polymer on their existing standard equipment with the minimum amount of modification.
Hydropol™ can be thermally processed into blown film to create food waste bags used for Anaerobic Digestion.
Food Waste Bags made of Hydropol are used to collect food waste from domestic, industrial and commercial sources and are fully compatible for use in Anaerobic Digestion.
Anaerobic Digestion processes food waste and converts it into energy and fertiliser, which avoids adding food waste to landfill and saves fossil fuels.
Hydropol™ breaks down quickly during the AD process, unlike conventional plastic which can cause blockages and obstructions.
Benefits of using AD bags made from Hydropol™:
- Suitable for mesophilic and thermophilic systems.
- No de-bagging required:
- Breaks down fully in the AD system
- Contributes to the gas yield
- Reduce waste plastic removal costs
- Reduced maintenance costs, doesn’t clog filters or conveyor
- When fully digested, will not form microplastics in the digestate and will meet the requirements of PAS 110.
- Excellent strength, puncture resistance and durability
- Can hold wet food without disintegrating.
- Ability to see contents clearly
- Excellent transparency with over 90% transmission rate
- Bags are strong with barrier properties against oil, grease and oxygen
