Does Dropps use PVOH? Does that make the pods plastic?Updated 3 hours ago

Yes, our pods use a thin PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) film that dissolves completely when it hits water. Here's what that means:

• PVOH is a water-soluble polymer made from the same three atoms found in table sugar (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen).
• Once it contacts water, it dissolves fully, it doesn't break into fragments or persist as a solid.
• Because it dissolves rather than remaining a solid particle, it does not meet California's regulatory definition of a microplastic.
• Detergent-grade PVOH passes OECD 301 biodegradability testing and is listed on the EPA's CleanGredients database of Safer Choice-approved ingredients.
