The gas barrier properties and chemical resistance of Nichigo G-Polymer are similar to PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol) and EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer) resins, along with water solubility and low crystallinity. The polymer features: co-extrudable grade for biodegradablity; high barrier for packaging; water solubility for films, fibers, and coatings; water solutions for emulsions and dispersions. Nichigo G-Polymer also has provides extrudability, orientability, shrinkability and transparency, and is suitable for melt-spinning, oriented film, transparent containers, injection molding and more. It is also biocompostable.

According to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the carton format had the lowest environmental footprint of all the options, which compared PCR, molded fiber, glass, aluminum, and paper cartons. Using cartons to refill more durable rPET bottles makes the whole system bathroom- and shower-worthy, since the cartons themselves deteriorate in wet environments.

Dr. Bronner’s Paperboard Cartons Refill rPET Bottles to Ace LCA

Paperboard cartons get high LCA marks, but break down when wet. Meanwhile, 100% rPET bottles are circular, work great in the shower, and if they're refilled, are not single-use. Dr. Bronner’s refillable carton leverages both formats' strengths.
