SmartSolve debuts bio-based film for consumer packaging
The company stated PureNil0 combines durability, printability, and water solubility, which aims to deliver the functionality of conventional flexible films without reliance on fossil-derived plastics. SmartSolve has introduced its PureNil 0 packaging substrate, said to be a 100% bio-based and flushable material designed to replace single-use plastics in consumer-packaged goods. It allows manufacturers to adopt the solution without equipment modifications or process changes.
This innovative, plastic-free, 100% bio-based, printable, and flushable paper-based pouching material addresses the increasing demand for truly sustainable, zero-waste flexible packaging solutions in the food and drink packaging sector.
According to Towards Packaging, the North America BOPP Films Market is projected to experience significant growth, with estimates suggesting the market size will increase from USD 8.70 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 14.89 billion by 2035, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.15% from 2026 to 2035. The official launch is being validated through early commercial adoption by ARC 01, which is developing an instant coffee package that disperses in water.
Plastic-Free, 100% Bio-Based Composition
PureNil 0 is entirely from renewable resources, which eliminates synthetic polymers and petroleum-based inputs, so this is called an eco-friendly solution. It is genuinely plastic-free and biodegradable with credible leverage for its sustainability claims.
The flexible packaging segment has been dominated by multi-layer laminates and plastic films, significant for recycling challenges. This leaves brands with limited options, burdening consumers with guilt. It is entirely plastic-free, fossil-fuel independent, and naturally biodegradable, allowing companies to genuinely align with their sustainability commitments.
Chief Revenue Officer at SmartSolve, Alex Abbott, said by providing a 100% bio-based, plastic-free alternative, SmartSolve is giving brands the tools to make bold, measurable progress toward environmental goals without sacrificing product integrity.
Water-Soluble Performance and End-of-Life Options
PureNil 0 disperses seamlessly in water without releasing harmful microplastics, which gives water-dispersible functionality. This ensures safety for human health and drains, adhering to INDA’s GD4 and IWSFG testing criteria, and is fully flushable. It provides end-of-life options unparalleled by other packaging materials. Consumers can recycle, compost it at home, or safely flush it down the drain. This flexibility simplifies end-of-life decisions and fosters brand loyalty by making packaging disposal an affirmative act for consumers.
A recent report by Towards Healthcare highlights that the North America BOPP Films Market aims to operate seamlessly on standard form, fill, and seal equipment. It is also printable for small mono-dose applications, presenting new opportunities for branding and design.
