Cold water soluble
Dissolves in water at room temperature. Used for sachets, pouches, agrochemical and dye packs, cistern tablets and washing pods.
Cold water soluble PVA film ›Our technology
A family formulation, now patented.
GreenPlast resin is our own water soluble PVA formulation, developed through years of research in Coimbatore and refined in-house for clarity and durability. Every pouch, film and bag we make starts here.

Our story
Years of research, one patent.
GreenPlast began as a family formulation. Research started in Coimbatore in 2015, and after years of refining the recipe for clarity and durability, our first commercial products followed in 2019.
In February 2024 the Patent Office, Government of India granted Patent No. 508991 for our advanced transparent water soluble PVA pellets, the resin every GreenPlast product is made from.
We use our resin pellets only to make our own products; we do not sell them separately. Our hot water soluble resin has also been exported to Europe. Today we use it to make pouches, cold and hot water soluble film, garment bags and laundry bags in our Coimbatore plant.
Two grades
Cold water or hot water, from the same resin.
Hot water soluble
Softens in cold water and dissolves above 65°C. Used for hospital laundry bags and garment bags.

| Disintegration (left on 2 mm sieve after 84 days) | ISO 20200 | 1.83% | 10% or less |
| Seed emergence, paddy and tomato | OECD 208 | 91% and 92% | More than 90% of control |
| Earthworm survival and growth | ISO 11268-1 and 11268-2 | 92% to 97% | More than 90% of control |
| Heavy metals | IS 3025 | All well within limits | IS 17899 |

After use
It dissolves, then it breaks down.
In water, GreenPlast film dissolves completely. In soil or compost it breaks down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass, with no microplastics left behind.
In CIPET's plant growth test, paddy and tomato seeds grew normally in compost made with our film. The photos show our own trial: seedlings grown in soil watered with dissolved film.
