Creative Review is the first magazine anywhere to trial a new packaging material called harmless-dissolve which was created in the UK by Cyberpac.Take the magazine out of the bag.
Cut off the sealing strip – the glue of the strip is biodegradeable but will not dissolve in water.
Place the bag in a receptacle filled with hot water (60+ degrees recommended by manufacturer).
The clear plastic dissolves into the water almost immediately.
The printed area takes a little longer to break down.
After a couple of minutes, the printed area has broken down sufficiently for it to disintegrate when rubbed between finger and thumb – it's a bit gunky and sticky but washes off straightaway.
Pour the residue down the drain.
Any residue is perfectly harmless. Apparently you can even drink it, but it tastes horrible! Not recommend this!
A quick sluice around with water clears up any remaining residue both in the sink and in the receptacle.
