The fact that CareTips® is water-soluble makes it ideal for innovative applications – soluble labels – and for such basic products as detergent packaging. In both cases, the film dissolves and biodegrades in water, leaving no microplastic residue behind..

Case study

Lactips offers an innovative solution for the reuse sector: a 100% bio-based, biodegradable and water-soluble material designed for use in water-soluble label film substrates, which contain no paper or plastic.

Currently, the market only offers paper or plastic labels that come off when washed, adding more waste management. Our technology revolutionises this process by providing labels that dissolve completely in washing tanks, thereby streamlining the waste management process.

When containers are washed, the film dissolves completely, leaving no microplastic residue. This greatly simplifies the washing process and means that there is no waste to deal with afterwards. Thanks to CareTips®, which our partner Plastiques Venthenat uses to produce film, we are able to offer a more environmentally responsible way of labelling.
