Furthermore, if unintentionally released into the natural environment, Hydropol – which is non-toxic and marine safe – will dissolve and subsequently biodegrade. The polymer material, Hydropol – developed by Aquapak – can be recycled, re-pulped, composted and is distinctively compatible with anaerobic digestion.
