    Leading the launch of an initiative that could potentially drastically reduce global waste is an honor and a challenge I am thrilled to undertake. SmartSolve encompasses a family of environmentally sustainable water-soluble paper-based materials that can be produced in multiple thicknesses, coatings, and configurations. SmartSolve has a variety of valuable applications and can be coated with water-soluble adhesive that dissolves in water and leaves behind no residue. Heat seal top coating can be applied to allow the material to be converted into dissolvable pouches, tubes, folding cartons or containers. It can also have a direct thermal top coating for use in thermal printers.
