Hydropol™ was developed by Aquapak to help brands and converters create a new generation of packaging that does not harm the environment once it has been consumed.

Our patented polymer chemistry combines all the functionality and performance benefits associated with conventional plastic with a range of positive end-of-life disposal options.

Safe and convenient end-of-life solutions

Performs like plastic, recycles like paper 

Hydropol™ is easily extruded or laminated onto paper using existing processes and machinery. This allows Hydropol™ coated paper to run on both high-speed horizontal and vertical, form, fill and seal (HFFS & VFFS) lines and enables paper to be used as a genuine replacement for traditional multi-layer plastics. 

Hydropol™ coated paper packaging can go into domestic recycling bins and will dissolve in the paper mill providing up to 100% fibre recovery with no additional complexity or contamination.
