Water-based dispersion layer - another environmental breakthrough of good practice

It has not been known for a long time that the level of pollution in the earth is enormous. Every day we produce a huge amount of products made from harmful plastics, and we consume and throw them away just as much. If at least the process of segregation and recycling went on, as it should, the scale of the problem would be much smaller, but there are still many people who neglect environmental issues. What is particularly comforting is that the number of such people is constantly decreasing. Thanks to education about ecology and its consequences, alternatives to plastic products are filling the market. Thus, it is becoming easier and easier to obtain a product certified as natural. Given the broadening horizon of green technologies, another breakthrough was the appreciation of aqueous dispersion, used, among other things, in the production of cups. What is it and what is it based on, and what else can we do for our environment? You will find out everything in the rest of the article.

Water dispersion and other ways to protect the environment - changing bad habits

The constant search for new ways to protect the environment involves a lot of people. However, in order to be more eco-friendly, you don't have to try to invent something innovative at all - there are plenty of extremely simple steps, the implementation of which into your life is a huge nod to nature. To make it easier for you to understand what a water dispersion layer is and why it was introduced, let's first focus on any other habits that anyone who cares even a little about what's around them should consider.

• Waste segregation - it takes so little to improve the recycling process, yet still containers are filled with bags of mixed garbage. All you need is to stock up on a few separate garbage cans, and the rest will just remain a habit.
• Acquiring eco-friendly products - while there used to be a rather narrow selection of natural assortments available on the market, today we can easily find alternatives to artificial and plastic products. The ideal place to start your search is SlowPack's organic wholesaler - check out the numerous options for yourself.
• Give up over-consumerism and use reusable solutions - the more we buy, the more we fuel the extremely long process that runs from production to transportation to reaching our hands. Instead, make it a point to make conscious purchasing decisions, such as giving up buying water in plastic bottles in favor of a reusable filter bottle or bidon.

These are just three examples of activities that we can easily incorporate into our daily lives - in fact, there are many more. If you would like to read about them, take a look at our article - "Small things do wonders, or what are eco-friendly actions".

Ecology in technology and production - water dispersion is not the only noteworthy solution

The increase in the importance of ecological technological solutions and those used in the production process boils down to the continuation of a kind of race in the market between companies, which every day try to develop a better version of something that already exists or invent something completely new. Such a discovery can include, for example, a water-based dispersion layer, which is rarely heard of, and thus the vast majority of the public is not even aware that such a thing exists at all. As our goal is to make our audience aware and encourage them to explore such topics, we want to emphasize that water-based dispersion is not the only one, but another breakthrough. In addition to it, other equally important and noteworthy options are known, among others:

• using recyclable, i.e. reprocessable, materials in production;
• renovating old things and giving them new life;
• lED lighting;
• electric cars;
• using renewable energy sources.

What is an aqueous dispersion layer and what is it used for?

You've probably already guessed that it's not without reason that we started discussing the topic by explaining the issues that have a huge impact on environmental protection. It is much easier to understand why something exists when we know examples of other solutions resulting from a similar premise. So, getting to the point - aqueous dispersion refers directly to the state in which particles float or are suspended in water. This definition, while brief, is not much to understand at first glance.

To make it a little easier to unravel this aspect, we have gathered some valuable facts about water-based dispersion film.

• It is 100% recyclable, which means, among other things: recyclable, compostable and biodegradable.
• It is a great alternative to PE (polyethylene - one of the world's most popular plastics) and PLA (polylactide - obtained by fermentation of, for example, wheat, corn or sugar cane).
• The important difference is in the details - peeling off PE-coated paper is not easy, and thus carrying out recycling becomes much more complex. The case is different for paper with water-based dispersion. This time there is a complete separation of the dispersion layer from the pulp, so we are able to obtain a pure and white pulp, which is an ideal basis for carrying out recycling (it meets the necessary requirements).

To sum up - if you want to be eco and care that the products you use are fully natural and their reprocessing is at all possible, instead of buying plastic cups reach for eco-friendly paper cups based on aqueous dispersion layer.
