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 If you're a manufacturer of AD/food waste bags or an AD plant operator, get in touch with us now to discover how Hydropol™ can benefit your business. We can put you in touch with our worldwide Manufacturing Partners
Aquapak PolymersAnaerobic Digestion (AD) bags made from Aquapak's Hydropol™ AD bags made from Hydropol™, an Aquapak product, are fully dissolvable and break down fully in both mesophilic and thermophilic systems. They contribute to the gas yield and reduce waste plastic removal costs. No de-bagging is required as they do not clog filters or conveyors. When fully digested, they will not form microplastics in the digestate and meet the requirements of PAS 110. They are also non-toxic and marine-safe. Our collaborative trial process means we work with AD plants plus waste collection and waste management companies to develop suitable testing and verification programmes for their systems. If you are interested in making or using bags made from Hydropol™, then we’d love to discuss these opportunities with you. About Aquapak Aquapak develops and manufactures marine-safe and non-toxic hydrophilic polymer resin pellets. They enable users to maintain the primary function of their products whilst designing in end-of-life such as recyclability and anaerobic digestion. Aquapak polymer such as Hydropol™ can be used on its own to replace traditional, single-use polymers or combined with other materials to create products and packaging solutions for many different industries. Examples include: water soluble Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Bags used to convert food waste into energy and water soluble infection control bags which have been used by the NHS and keyworkers to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
