Polyvinyl alcohol has been used in a new eco-friendly packaging solution that could replace traditional plastic packaging. The new packaging, created by a team of researchers in Japan, is made from PVA film(made by Poval 205, 217) that is both biodegradable and water-soluble. The PVA film is also highly transparent, making it perfect for packaging products such as fresh fruits and vegetables. The new packaging solution is expected to have a significant impact on reducing plastic waste and is an important step towards creating a more sustainable planet.
