The rising demand for raw materials is pushing society towards the limits of our planet. As resources become scarcer and more expensive, the transition to sustainable systems and products is no longer optional but essential.
This invention concerns an innovative polymer film coating based on a combination of polyvinyl alcohol (or related copolymers) and polysaccharides, forming a stable polymer network.
Applicability of the Safe by Design (SSbD) framework to the development and implementation of safer and more sustainable alternatives to surfactants, plasticisers and flame retardants, which are present in everyday products and pose a high risk to human health and the environment and are therefore considered as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
