Benefits of using Water Soluble Material in everyday products?

As sustainability climbs up the corporate agenda alongside demands for improved customer experience, water soluble packaging presents a next-generation solution to traditional plastics. Completely dissolving in water after use, water-soluble pouches, films, and pods cut single-use waste while enabling consumer convenience and production efficiency.

As pioneers in soluble technologies, Affirm India’s SmartSolveTM allows businesses to tap into these benefits. Read on to understand key strategic reasons to make the switch.

1. Aligns with Eco-Values

Today’s consumers preferentially seek out brands acting decisively on sustainability. Transitioning from conventional plastic or polymer packaging to water-soluble pouches, therefore, signals eco-commitment to customers. Known for enabling zero-waste cleaners and laundry pod capsules, water-soluble packaging is intrinsically perceived as a “green” alternative. Adopting soluble pouches, sachets or films allows companies to credibly reinforce sustainability credentials – supporting investor relations, brand reputation and customer loyalty.

2. Enhances Supply Chain Efficiency

Using water-soluble sheets, tapes, or labels helps make manufacturing and shipping more efficient. They dissolve cleanly, so there's less need to stop and clean up, which saves time even when things are moving fast. There's no waste or extra costs from sticky messes during production. Plus, parts can be packed tighter before they're put together because flat water-soluble sheets take up less space than bulky packing materials. Overall, water-soluble solutions help businesses save both time and money.

3. Unlocks Product Innovation Opportunities

Rather than directly replacing incumbent materials, water-soluble technology enables new forms of packaging, delivery, and functionality impossible with standard films and containers. Edible water-soluble wrappers for food on the go present new formats to explore. Programmable SmartSolveTM material allows brands to alter dissolution rates, strength, imprintability and more to create multi-phase capsules tailored to active ingredients. Thermal sensitivity supports just-in-time customized printing and codes for limited-batch products. The problem-solving potential catalyzes product development creativity.

4. Drives Competitive Differentiation

Thanks to companies like Affirm India, big brands like P&G and Reckitt Benckiser are now using water-soluble packaging for their laundry and cleaning products. However, many other industries haven't started using this tech yet. Companies that start using water-soluble materials could get ahead of their competitors now. They can offer unique products and meet customers' growing demand for eco-friendly options and rules from authorities. This smart move can help a brand stand out and keep its place in the market.

5. Creates New Revenue Streams

Finally, water-soluble solutions present entirely new commercialization avenues alongside upgrading existing offerings. For example, electronics manufacturers can supply soluble customized printed circuit boards enabling new Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Specialty chemical businesses can create water-activated adhesives for consumer convenience applications.

Garment markers gain soluble stitching threads, maintaining production integrity without signatures on finished items. The wide scope of possibilities allows both ingredient suppliers and end-product companies to access emerging high-growth markets.
