Simple science
How PVA Bags Actually Work
Polyvinyl alcohol is a non-plastic polymer. It has none of the persistence of polyethylene or polypropylene. Here's what happens when you add water.
Use normally
Holds up to 12 lbs. Rain-resistant. Works at checkout, farmers markets, and produce sections.
Add water
Drop in hot water at home — your sink, a glass, or a bucket. No facility needed.
It dissolves
PVA polymer chains break apart in 2–5 minutes. Completely gone — not just smaller.
Zero residue
What remains is non-toxic water-soluble vinyl alcohol — safe in waterways and soil.

Our advantage
Why Solubelle Is Different
No microplastics — verified
FTIR analysis confirms zero microplastic or nano-plastic generation at any stage of dissolution.
No industrial composting
Compostable PLA bags require special facilities that 91% of Americans can't access. Ours dissolve under your tap.
No recycling required
Only 1–3% of plastic bags are actually recycled. Ours don't need a recycling bin — they need a sink.
Safe everywhere
Non-toxic in soil, freshwater, and marine environments. Tested and certified by independent labs.
Same strength as plastic
Holds up to 20 lbs in our Heavy-Duty Shopper. Rain-resistant. Handles wet produce without issue. Zero compromise on performance.
Custom branded, any size
Full-color logo printing. 4 standard sizes. MOQ 1,000 units. Typical lead time 4–6 weeks.

Common questions
Everything You Need to Know
Will it dissolve if it gets rained on?
Rain-resistant under normal conditions — light rain, wet produce, and damp hands won't dissolve the bag. Full dissolution requires sustained contact with hot water (140°F/60°C+) and takes 2–5 minutes.
Is it safe for food and produce contact?
Yes. PVA is widely used in pharmaceutical capsule coatings, food packaging, and laundry pods. Our bags are food-grade safe and non-toxic. Certification is available upon request.
What does it actually break down into?
PVA dissolves into water, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of water-soluble vinyl alcohol. No persistent polymers, no microplastics, no toxic breakdown products. FTIR analysis verifies zero residual polymer chains.
How is this different from compostable bags?
Compostable bags (usually PLA) require industrial composting at 140°F+ — facilities that 91% of Americans can't access. Our bags dissolve at home under your tap in 2–5 minutes. No facilities needed.
What are the minimum order quantities?
Wholesale starts at 500 units per SKU. Sample kits (mixed SKUs) are available free for qualified retailers. Custom branded bags start at 1,000 units with a 4–6 weeks lead time.
Can you print our logo on the bags?
Yes. Full-color logo printing is available on all SKUs at a 1,000 units MOQ. We handle the print setup — just send your logo files. Typical lead time is 4–6 weeks from artwork approval.
Our story
“I watched a bag disappear in a glass of water and couldn't believe America was still using plastic.”
Our founder discovered PVA dissolvable bags in a Greek grocery store and spent two years researching why the US didn't have them yet. The answer wasn't science — it was distribution.
Solubelle was built to bring this technology to American retailers at scale — without the premium price tag, without the greenwashing. Just a bag that actually disappears.
