PVA water-soluble film is made from polyvinyl alcohol by physical or chemical treatment. It dissolves rapidly in water and is biodegradable, making it valuable for environmental protection. Since the late 1960s, it has been used in chemical packaging, agricultural film and medical products to replace traditional plastics. As plastic pollution worsens, its role in industrial packaging has grown. The film protects goods and then dissolves or biodegrades, cutting plastic waste.
It is now common in disposable bags, packaging film and laundry bags, especially for chemicals, pesticides and cleaning products. Its non-toxic, water-soluble nature improves safety and reduces pollution. Rising environmental awareness has made PVA film a key part of green packaging and sustainable development.
