Birmingham, UK | May 13, 2025 – Aquapak’s Hydropol™, a water-soluble, marine-safe, and biodegradable polymer, has won two prestigious U.S. nonwoven industry awards, highlighting its transformative role in sustainable materials innovation.
Hydropol powered InnovaWipe®, developed with Innovatec®, to win the IDEA® Nonwoven Products Achievement Award. The material is fully flushable, microplastic-free, and offers resistance to oils, greases, and chemicals, while breaking down safely under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
Hydropol also enabled KINDCLOTH™’s Insect Repellent Wet Wipe to win the IDEA® Sustainability Advancement Award. The wipe combines eco-friendly insect protection with Hydropol’s flushable, non-toxic, and biodegradable properties—ensuring zero waste and no fatberg formation.
Aquapak’s innovation allows manufacturers to replace traditional plastics in nonwovens without compromising performance. The wipes dissolve completely when flushed and are certified biodegradable in freshwater, home compostable, and compliant with global flushability standards.
