SmartSolve Launches PureNil™ 0: Plastic-Free, Bio-Based Unit-Dosing Packaging for Agriculture
Zero Plastic. Zero Waste. Endless Possibilities.
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SmartSolve, a leader in water-soluble packaging innovation, has introduced PureNil™ 0, a plastic-free, 100% bio-based, printable, and flushable paper-based pouching material designed to meet the growing demand for truly sustainable, zero-waste flexible packaging. PureNil™ 0 became commercially available at the beginning of this year, in January 2026, and has since found a wide variety of market applications, including personal care, home cleaning, and healthcare. Today, we're excited to share this application-specific release revealing PureNil™ 0's recent traction in agriculture, covering everything from crop protection and fertigation to biologicals, soil amendments, seed and planting, and consumer lawn and garden.
Pre-Measured, Plastic-Free Unit-Dosing Across Agriculture
Across agriculture, products are moving toward pre-measured, single-dose formats — easy to apply, hard to over-apply, and consistent every time. From fertilizers and soil amendments to biological inputs, microbials, and tank-mix crop protection, growers and brands alike want the convenience of unit-dosing without the waste it usually leaves behind.
SmartSolve's certified bio-based PureNil™ 0 makes that possible. It disperses on contact with water — no scooping, no measuring, no empty container to dispose of — and is entirely plastic-free (100% bio-based). Whether it's a pre-dosed fertilizer sachet headed for a watering can, a microbial blend that needs gentle handling, or a water-dispersible product going straight into a boom sprayer, the packaging does its job and then disperses. That makes it ideal for organic and regenerative programs, seed packs, and any brand that wants to offer portion control with zero waste.

From the boom sprayer to the backyard — wherever a product can be pre-dosed, water-soluble packaging can carry it.

The Future of Agriculture Packaging Is Here
