The Hidden Plastic Problem No One’s Talking About: Sodium Polyacrylate
The truth? Sodium polyacrylate is a microplastic in waiting.

As a customer, you come first: we are here to help you.
We’ve been told it’s inert, safe, and harmless. But the science hasn’t caught up with the scale. Where do all those billions of nappies, pads, ice packs and agricultural gels go when we’re done with them? Into landfill, leaching slowly into the environment, Into agricultural soil, where they linger for years, Into rivers, where they mimic the microplastic problem that we’re already losing control of.
Worse still, no one’s regulating it.
