Arrow Greentech Ltd., a pioneer in water-soluble film technologies and eco-friendly packaging, recently made headlines with its impressive showcase at the PMFAI International Crop Science Conference & Exhibition (ICSCE) 2024. Held at the Andaaz by Hyatt Hotel in Delhi, this annual event, organised by the Pesticides Manufacturers & Formulators Association of India (PMFAI), attracted key players from the agrochemical and crop science industries to explore the latest innovations driving the future of sustainable agriculture and crop protection.
With the global focus on safety, mono dosing, and sustainability and the growing demand for eco-friendly practices in agriculture, Arrow Greentech used the ICSCE platform to present its innovative water-soluble film technology under its flagship brand, Watersol™. Known for setting new standards in sustainability across various sectors, including agriculture, hygiene products, construction chemicals, and bio-enzymes, Watersol™ continues to lead the way in providing solutions that support environmental preservation while enhancing efficiency.
Unveiling Innovation: Watersol’s Water-Soluble Film Technology
At the heart of Arrow Greentech’s presentation was its water-soluble film technology–a breakthrough solution that addresses one of the agrochemical industry’s biggest challenges: safe and eco-friendly packaging. The WATER SOLUBLE FILM technology is a game-changer, designed to dissolve in water within seconds, providing an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional plastic packaging, often contributing to pollution and health hazards.
This technology offers a wide range of benefits for the agrochemical industry. The water-soluble films allow for safe handling of agrochemicals, significantly reducing the risk of human exposure to hazardous substances. Once dissolved, the film leaves no trace, eliminating the need for plastic disposal and minimising residual contamination in soil and water bodies. Farmers and agricultural professionals, who often face the dilemma of balancing efficiency with environmental impact, can now rely on Watersol’s WATER SOLUBLE FILM technology to manage agrochemicals safely and more sustainably. In addition to safe handling, water-soluble films offer a unique feature of mono-dosing, where agrochemicals are pre-packaged in precise, premeasured doses. This ensures optimal accuracy in chemical application, reducing waste and enhancing dosing precision.
Arrow Greentech’s participation in the PMFAI ICSCE exhibition demonstrated their innovative prowess and emphasised their commitment to addressing the global demand for sustainable and safe packaging standards. This commitment is in line with India’s broader environmental goals, such as reducing single-use plastics and encouraging green practices in agriculture. As countries worldwide adopt stricter regulations on plastic use and environmental impact, Arrow Greentech’s solutions offer a timely and effective response to these challenges.
Driving Sustainable Change in Agriculture
Watersol’s WATER SOLUBLE FILM technology is already recognized for its versatility and application across industries, but its impact in the agrochemical sector is particularly noteworthy. Arrow’s water-soluble film meets the Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council (CIPAC) standards for testing the water solubility of substances and the dissolution rate of water-soluble bags (MT 176). At the exhibition, Arrow Greentech’s WatersolTM highlighted how this technology is revolutionising agrochemical packaging, not only by making it safer but also by reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional packaging methods.
One of the most significant advantages of water-soluble films is their ability to prevent direct human contact with dangerous chemicals, safeguarding the health of farmers and workers who handle these substances regularly.
“We believe that true sustainability can only be achieved through innovative solutions that are both practical and eco-friendly,” said an Arrow Greentech spokesperson during the event. “Our water-soluble films offer a safer and greener solution to have mono-doze soluble packaging for hazardous chemicals, and we are thrilled to see how the agrochemical industry is embracing this change in insecticides, herbicides, and various other products.”
Broadening Horizons: A Global Innovator in Unit Doze Packaging for Agrochemicals
The PMFAI ICSCE exhibition provided Arrow Greentech with an unparalleled opportunity to further solidify its position as a global leader in sustainable packaging. By engaging with industry experts, distributors, and key decision-makers, the company demonstrated the potential of its WATER-SOLUBLE FILM technology to transform agrochemical packaging worldwide. The exhibition also allowed Arrow Greentech to align itself with key players in the agrochemical sector, fostering partnerships and collaborations that will expand its global reach.
A Vision for the Future: Innovating Toward Sustainability
Arrow Greentech’s future-oriented approach was a key theme during its participation at the ICSCE. The company continues to prioritize research and development, investing in new technologies that push the boundaries of material science and address the evolving needs of various industries. In particular, Arrow Greentech is focusing on expanding its portfolio of speciality films and related solutions, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of sustainable innovation.
Arrow Greentech’s presence at PMFAI ICSCE 2024 highlights its leadership in water-soluble technology and its strong dedication to sustainability. With a growing portfolio and a forward-thinking approach, the company is well-positioned to drive the global transition toward eco-friendly practices.
