EzyGreenPak is composed of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA or PVOH) and water. PVA is a synthetic polymer known for its water-soluble and biodegradable properties. Unlike conventional plastics such as PP and PE, which are water-insoluble and not easily biodegradable, PVA contains hydroxyl groups that make it hydrophilic, allowing it to dissolve in water. Microorganisms in soil or water can break down PVA into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, contributing to its biodegradability.

We suggest dissolving it in water that is heated to 90°C or higher. Place the bag in a container and pour boiling water over it. Within a few minutes, it will dissolve. After dissolution, you can safely dispose of the remaining liquid down the drain. Wastewater treatment at a sewage plant will handle the breakdown of the dissolved material by microorganisms, resulting in the production of only carbon dioxide and water, without any microplastics formed.

EzyGreenPak has undergone SGS lab testing and testing by the China National Center for Quality and Supervision of Plastics (NTSQP), confirming that our products are free from PP, PE, PS, and PVA plastics. Additionally, these tests have shown that over 90% of our materials biodegrade within 72 days.

The residue that remains is a result of the time it takes for the PVOH material to undergo hydrolysis. Simply put, these residues are not microplastics, so there is no need for concern. The PVOH polymers will break down into smaller individual molecules, lacking a physical solid structure, unlike microplastics. The dissolved PVOH will then react with microorganisms, ultimately transforming into harmless CO2 and water.
