PureNil 0 is a 100% bio‑based, plastic‑free, printable, and flushable flexible pouch material engineered for dry and powdered products, comprising an outer paper layer of responsibly sourced wood pulp and an inner 100% bio‑based, water‑soluble sealant layer that enables heat sealing and rapid aqueous dispersion; the product family includes variants (2PN30, 3PN30) tailored for faster dispersal or enhanced strength and shelf stability, and is presented as compatible with standard form‑fill‑seal equipment for mono‑dose and small pouch formats.

SmartSolve positions PureNil 0 as meeting direct food‑contact standards and suitable for applications across household cleaning unit doses, confectionery, personal care, agriculture, and selected healthcare uses, while highlighting end‑of‑life options that include paper recycling, home composting where applicable, or safe flushing to wastewater systems without producing microplastics; the company is marketing the material for sampling and commercial orders as the inaugural product in its PureNil series focused on eliminating synthetic polymers from flexible packaging.
