Description
Silica capsules with prolonged release property is designed to extend the usage period of different types of household, personal hygiene or healthcare products. This unique technology involves the encapsulation of concentrated active ingredients within silica-based capsules. A small amount of the capsule-infused product, when mixed with water, can provide the same functionality as a significantly larger quantity of traditional products, thereby significantly reducing the size and weight of these products, making them more economical and environmentally friendly. Using silica capsule technology, GelSoap has been developed as an alternative environmentally-friendly soap product, and a bundle of related household/personal products is under development.
Content
Environmental Impact: The manufacture, transport, and disposal of traditional health and hygiene products pose significant environmental challenges. These products typically include a high percentage of water, making them heavy and bulky. This results in high carbon emissions during transportation and significant storage space. The small size and light weight of our silica capsules can significantly reduce these environmental impacts
Waste Reduction: Traditional health and hygiene products often lead to packaging and disposable plastic dispenser. Our silica capsules reduce the packaging wastage by reducing its size and reuse eco-friendly dispenser
Cost Saving: The bulk and weight of traditional products lead to high storage and transportation costs. Our silica capsules can revolutionize logistics across the health and hygiene industry by reducing the size and weight
