Why Water-Soluble?
Solupak was formed in 1998 and is renowned as the leading expert in water-soluble products. Over nearly 20 years, the company has worked with various leading brands to develop, formulate, package and provide global capabilities for water-soluble (PVOH) films and granules.
Based in Yorkshire in the North of England, we service the UK and our distributors for Europe, the Far East and Australasia. As specialists in commercial cleaning products, we employ a full in-house technical formulation and development team. Manufacturing is all done on-site in the UK as well as the concept, R&D, testing, manufacturing, packaging and distribution.
Environmental Benefits of Water Soluble Sachets
Here at Solupak, consideration for the environment is at the forefront of all of our processes and applications. We strive to reduce the amount of single-use plastic within the cleaning industry and have as little negative impact as possible on the environment.
Our mission is to become the leading producer of effective and value-for-money cleaning concentrate packed in water-soluble sachets that are made by adopting the highest possible ethical standards.
Plastic Reduction... #bottle4life
The Solupak approach has always been to minimise the need to recycle the materials we use in our products and packaging. Our spray bottles are designed to be used daily, year after year without any problems; if they do reach the end of their life (which has not happened yet) they are also completely recyclable.
The Statistics
Dosing bottles are wasteful, our system uses 15kg LESS plastic per cleaner per year compared to dosing systems.
Ready-to-use is also wasteful, our system uses 20kgs LESS plastic per cleaner per year than ready-to-use.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Our environmental policy does not stop at plastic reduction. We also contribute to carbon dioxide reduction in terms of our transportation and packaging methods and practices.
Our products do not involve the transportation of water, this can be added as and when the product is needed. As a result, fewer natural resources are used to facilitate product transit because the weight and volume of products is so low.
Physical Benefits of Water-Soluble Sachets
Zero Water Transportation
Natural resources are precious, and we seek to always minimise our use of them in the design and manufacture of our products. With Solupak systems, zero water is transported so the volume and weight of products in transit is low. That might seem to be a small benefit, but you’d be amazed just how much this reduces emissions through fewer transport miles and greater capacity within the transport vehicles.
We want clean air as well as clean oceans
A whole pallet of 5-litre liquid concentrate can be replaced with just 4 packets of our product. All these 5-litre containers go to waste.
- Just add water... don’t transport it
- Zero waste
- Ethical accreditations
- Global standards
- Add water at the point of use
Water Soluble Sachet Innovation Benefits
Be the Leader
Innovation is at the heart of the Solupak product range, not only do our water soluble products reduce waste, a pressing issue today, but they also provide a positive change, without increasing costs.
Our in-house design and packaging team have developed our product range to follow the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) colour coding system.
The pictorial guides and bottle labels reinforce the 4-step process and colour coding to ensure correct use. These also assist any users who have language or learning challenges. The dissolving sachets colour the water making it immediately obvious where the trigger spray bottle is meant to be used and avoids potential cross-contamination.
Ease of Use Benefits of Water-Soluble Sachets
No Manual Handling
The products are easy to use, as demonstrated in the 4-step process:
- Add water…
- Place the sachet(s) in the bottle/bucket/machine or other container
- Agitate/shake/swirl the water until the sachet is completely dissolved
- Use!
The Solupak bottles have been designed so the sachets can easily fit into a standard neck bottle, so they can be used pretty universally as well as being marked to show the correct fill. This ensures there is minimal risk of the concentrate encountering the user’s skin or eyes. No manual handling is involved when using or moving the products before the water is added.
What’s more, the dosing is always correct which means that the active ingredients in the sachets will work at the optimum level and costs are fully controlled at site level.
Cost-Saving Benefits of Water-Soluble Sachets
No Water Transportation
In addition to the enormous positive environmental impact that zero water transportation has, there are also benefits in terms of costs and savings. The weight of the load is consequently lighter due to there being no liquid to transport to customers; meaning that the cost of delivering our products to you and your distributors is considerably reduced.
Our systems are cost-effective for both small clients and large users. This is because we can implement concentrate dosage systems for larger users, as well as provide water-soluble sachets for clients at the other end of the spectrum. In other words, Solupak products are scalable from one cleaner to 100+. As a result of this dosing certainty, there is no worry about using too much of the product, in turn, this leads to cost certainty as no product is being wasted.
Not only that, but Solupak products have a three-year shelf life (if kept dry, of course!) There is no rush to use the products within a short time frame and they take up minimal shelf space as no water is added until usage.
