From the Journal of Integrated Environmental Assessment comes another recent study providing significant assurance regarding the environmental safety of polyvinyl alcohol used in detergent packet films. Using globally accepted test methods and U.S. and EU risk assessments, this comprehensive study shows rapid biodegradation and a wide margin of environmental safety. https://lnkd.in/gVp2Pkh5

A colleague shared this with us a few weeks ago. More evidence that water soluble detergent capsules do NOT contribute to microplastics. We've been studying this topic for decades and NEVER once have we found PVA particles from detergent packets in wastewater effluent, even when filtering down to 450 nanometers. https://lnkd.in/guBTh69T

🌎 MonoSol: Pioneering a Waste-Free Future! 🌱 In celebration of Earth Day, check out this YouTube video! We’re explaining the science behind the globally accepted rapid biodegradation testing processes we use to ensure that water-soluble materials, like poly-vinyl alcohol (PVOH), dissolve seamlessly in wastewater treatment plants. In real life, measuring the oxygen consumption of bacteria as they consume materials is a typical analytical technique for assessing biodegradation. However, for materials that degrade rapidly (like ours), this process is too swift to quantify accurately. Hence, we intentionally slow it down, using the endpoint as an indicator of rapid biodegradation. 🌱 No Special Bacteria Required: Typical wastewater treatment plants have the microorganisms needed to completely break down our materials in mere hours. 🌱 Not a 28-Day Wait: Forget the lengthy process! Our test intentionally slows down to ensure accurate measurement without doubts. Let’s make sustainability easy to measure and great for our planet! 🌍🌟 #earthday2024 #sustainableproducts https://lnkd.in/g5z634Dq

Debunking Myths about PVA and Detergent Pods

Great to see ACI pushing back. The startup company behind the deliberately deceptive campaign to restrict detergent packets was rejected earlier this year by the EPA, which conclusively reaffirmed PVA's safe and sustainable use. Continuing to mislead the public by contradicting decades of science, ginning up low quality studies to scare consumers and ban competitors is NOT okay. Read more below.
The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) is addressing misinformation in a corporate marketing and advocacy campaign against laundry and dishwashing detergent pods containing polyvinyl alcohol film (PVA/PVOH), the subject of an effort in New York City to ban the products. "The propaganda campaign launched by the company Blueland is simply deliberate deception. Campy marketing stunts can’t cover up the shoddy use of science and blatant efforts to scare consumers and misinform policymakers.” https://lnkd.in/gZhwB7tH
