They also excel in their positive hygienic properties as well as their economical dosage. Due to their solid material properties, the non-toxic and skin-friendly films are ideal for use in food packaging. Their decomposition both in waste incineration and in the sewage treatment plant (decomposition by microorganisms) to CO2 and water is residue-free and therefore extremely environmentally friendly.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/sustainabledesign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#sustainabledesign<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/bringlovetobusiness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#bringlovetobusiness<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/nachhaltigkeit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#sustainability<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/greenbusiness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#greenbusiness<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/materialinnovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#materialinnovation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/gogreen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#gogreen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/plastikfrei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#plasticfree<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-sans-serif wp-block-paragraph\">Product name:<strong> <strong><strong>PVOH films<\/strong><\/strong><br\/><\/strong>Manufacturer:<strong> <strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sokufol.de\/lieferprogramm\/verpackungsfolien\/wasserloesliche-folien\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sokufol<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><br\/>Project status: Concept \/\/ Prototype \/\/ Ready for market \/\/ <strong>Ready for series production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-sans-serif has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Peters, Sascha: Materialrevolution I.
