Aquapak is an emerging specialty materials company with enormously exciting potential. It is based on a disruptive technology which addresses some fundamental issues with the way flexible packaging is being used and disposed of in the modern society.We are focused on bringing multi-functional plastics into a circular economy and transforming the way plastics are seen by delivering the functionality we have all come to appreciate while providing real solutions to concerns about the potential impact to the environment. The initial products are unique as they have both an outstanding performance profile and compatibility with all end of life options. They exhibit high performance barrier properties, high mechanical strength, transparency, ease of printability and solvent resistance all while being easily processed on conventional plastics processing equipment. These capabilities derive from a set of proprietary technologies developed by the company during several years of sustained development.Aquapak products are both recyclable and biodegradable and have multiple fields of use including a variety of packaging applications, food waste management (optimization of anaerobic digestion via compatible polymer) and healthcare infection control.The company has invested in a world class production facility which is now complete and we anticipate shipping commercial quantities to our initial customers in the very near future. Its an exciting time to be joining the Aquapak team!My investment partners and I look forward to lending our experience and support to the talented management team who have brought the company to this stage and who will lead it to fulfill the global potential we all believe it has.
