Solubag is a Chilean company dedicated to the development and innovation of packaging products which are friendly to the environment.  Founders Roberto Astete and Cristian Olivares, researchers from Chile, are the masterminds behind the new biodegradable plastic technology that simply dissolves the product in minutes versus biodegradable products that could take years. They discovered the formula while experimenting with biodegradable detergent. The team used PVA, a polyvinyl alcohol that dissolves in water, as their chemical base and then replaced the oil derivatives to ensure the bag would degrade over time.

The annual production rate of plastic is 311 million tons.  If annual production continues at this rate, there will be more than 1.2 billion tons of plastic by 2050.  "The main difference between traditional plastic and ours is that traditional plastic remains between 150 and 500 years in the environment and ours only lasts minutes. You can decide when to destroy it," states Astete and Olivares, adding that, "today the recycling machine could be your saucepan or washing machine."
