TerraSafe and DisSolves Join Forces to Innovate Plastic-Free Packaging Solutions

TerraSafe and DisSolves Merge to Innovate Packaging Solutions

In a significant development within the materials innovation sector, TerraSafe™, a U.S.-based company focused on sustainable materials, has merged with DisSolves, a startup known for its innovative dissolvable packaging solutions. This merger marks a pivotal step towards addressing the pressing issue of plastic waste in consumer products.

Groundbreaking Product Launches

The primary outcome of this collaboration is the introduction of two groundbreaking products: water-soluble laundry detergent sheets and edible pod packaging. Customers can now pre-order these revolutionary items aimed at replacing traditional plastic packaging. According to Julie Willoughby, TerraSafe's CTO, this initiative is designed to integrate convenience and sustainability into everyday life, leading to a significant reduction in microplastic contamination.

Edible Pods and Laundry Sheets

The edible, water-soluble pods are made from natural ingredients that dissolve completely in beverages without leaving any plastic remnants. Ideal for powdered products such as protein mixes, coffee, and dietary supplements, these pods offer not only convenience but also an eco-friendly alternative to conventional packaging.

In addition, TerraSafe is introducing the first-ever plastic-free laundry detergent sheet. This compact, mess-free solution eliminates the need for bulky plastic containers, promoting a truly circular economy through recyclable paperboard packaging. Scott Bolin, CEO of TerraSafe, emphasizes that these products do more than just replace plastic—they offer a more effective delivery system that challenges the status quo of packaging.

Commitment to the Environment

The merger integrates DisSolves' cutting-edge water-soluble film technology with TerraSafe's commitment to providing sustainable consumer packaged goods. Both companies are focused on utilizing regenerative materials derived from the bioeconomy, reinforcing their mission of reducing plastic reliance across various sectors. The goal is to offer consumers effective products without the environmental drawbacks associated with plastic.

Quote from the Leadership
"What we are creating today is not only innovative but represents what consumer goods packaging should always have been: simple and intuitive," says Bolin. This partnership aims to make plastic-free options not just available but easier and more efficient than the traditional alternatives.

Enrolling Partners and Pre-Orders

TerraSafe is now accepting pre-orders for limited sample kits of both products this summer, marking an exciting turn in how consumers will interact with everyday products. Furthermore, the company is expanding its partnership program to collaborate with brands ready to eliminate plastic from food and household product packaging.

The technologies developed by TerraSafe, including barrier films, foam materials, and coatings, are compatible with existing manufacturing systems and promote end-of-life solutions that are home-compostable and recyclable.

The Future of Packaging
This merger sets a new precedent for the future of packaging solutions. TerraSafe's commitment to sustainability, along with its innovative products, shows that a plastic-free future is not just an aspiration but an achievable reality. As they prepare to launch these products, TerraSafe encourages partners and consumers alike to join in this environmentally conscious movement.

For those eager to experience this new era of convenient, eco-friendly packaging, sample kits are available for pre-order at terrasafematerials.com. The journey towards a sustainable, plastic-free future is underway, and TerraSafe stands at the forefront of this essential change.
