 Harmless-Dissolve Transparent Bags Disappear in Warm Water Published: Oct 31, 09 Comments: 1 Views: 1,817 Harmless-Dissolve is a truly compostable packaging that dissolves in warm water. UK-based Cyberpac makes the clear, compostable bag, which can be printed with biodegradable inks and fitted with a biodegradable peel-and-seal lip. The Harmless-Dissolve bag is made of a water soluble polymer which completely biodegrades into naturally occurring substances in a landfill, dishwasher, washing machine, or a bowl of warm water. Newsstand copies of the November issue of Creative Review magazine are packaged in the new dissolving bag bearing the words ‘This bag dissolves in water.’  Harmless-Dissolve is non-toxic and is degraded by micro-organisms, moulds and yeasts. These organisms can occur in both artificial environments, such as anaerobic digesters, activated sewage sludge and composts and natural environments such as aquatic systems and soil. The micro-organisms use Harmless-Dissolve as a food source by producing a variety of enzymes that are capable of reacting with it. In the end the bag becomes carbon dioxide, water and biomass.
