By offering materials that are simple to dissolve and dispose trash afterward, the invention is in line with the principles of the circular economy. The water-soluble packaging's key attributes are its biodegradability, which permits natural breakdown after use, and its adaptability to a wide range of sectors. This invention satisfies consumer demands for eco-friendly goods and advances continuous initiatives to cut down on waste from single-use plastics."
