The document discusses the issues with plastic bags and existing "eco-friendly" alternatives. It introduces Solubag, a patented material made from polyvinyl alcohol that can be used to produce non-plastic bags and non-woven fabrics as a sustainable replacement for plastic in various applications. A company called Kyosun is looking to use Solubag for packaging their organic Japanese matcha tea in order to provide an eco-friendly solution.

3. According to the UN,
more plastics than
fish will swim in the
oceans by 2050
4. Real eco alternatives
DO NOT EXIST
Organic compostable/biodegradable
plastics
Organic material (tapioca starch, corn, potatoes),
in some there’s even oil
• Huge amounts of food are needed to produce, since only a fraction
of the total biomass is usable
• They cannot be mass produced; they don’t meet the demand of
wholesale customers, microplastics
OXO plastics (prohibited in EU)
SOURCE: oil + additives
• They disintegrate into microplastics that do not differ from normal
plastics
So-called Compostable plastics
Organic material (tapioca starch, corn, potatoes)
• They must not be thrown into the dustbin, especially not
among plastics
• They need controlled conditions in an industrial composter for
proper decomposition - but the number of these devices are
woefully low
5. Real eco alternatives
do not exist
All the so-called eco plastics are
a sad result of massive greenwashing.

9. What is Solubag™ material?
üSolubag's PVA composition is patented
(polyvinyl alcohol, oil-free)
üOriginated in Chile as a byproduct in the production
of soluble capsules with cleaning agents
üChilean scientists Roberto Astete and Cristian Olivares developed Solubag ™ in 2014
and are still working on innovation (development of robust non-plastic products)
üIt can replace plastic disposable bags, multiple use bags and theoretically
all plastic products in the future!
11. We are launching on the European market…
1. Non-plastic bags and bags made of non-woven
fabrics (solubag.cz)
We can produce almost everything that is produced From conventional PP / PES
nonwoven (e.g. disposable medical clothing and hospital equipment, material for
agricultural purposes, automotive, furniture and clothing industries…) In addition, the
material is still developing. Scientists are working on developing new products e.g.
toothbrushes, crates, food containers and disposable dishes, ...
