Reportedly, single-dose detergent packaging is expected to grow more than 6% annually through 2035. The market is set to reach $6.3 billion over time.
While consumers increasingly demand both convenience and sustainability, many mono-dose formats such as laundry pods and dish detergent tabs are made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
SmartSolve warns that PVA formats are sometimes marketed as biodegradable, but points to research indicating that the polymer still contributes to microplastic pollution in water systems.
