Aquapak Polymers Ltd. specializing in polymer based material technologies that can deliver both performance and environmental responsibility at scale, has joined Waste & Resources Action Program (WRAP), the climate action NGO which works around the globe to tackle the causes of the climate crisis and give the planet a sustainable future.
Aquapak will also join the UK Plastics Pact, which brings together businesses from across the entire plastics value chain with UK governments and NGOs to tackle the issue of plastic waste. Pact members are committed to eliminating problematic plastics, reducing the total amount of packaging on supermarket shelves, stimulating innovation and new business models and helping to build a stronger recycling system in the UK.
Aquapak has developed and commercialized Hydropol™, a highly functional, specialty environmental polymer that allows product design to support the circular economy. It is designed to be an alternative to traditional plastics, offering their versatility and functionality, but without harming the environment.
As an enabling technology, Hydropol can be used on its own or in combination with other materials to enhance recyclability, compostability and end-of-life options. Its material properties allow for scalability into diverse types of products and its solubility makes it easy to separate from other materials when recycling.
