TerraSafe Launches Breakthrough Plastic-Free Products Following Merger with DisSolves

It’s official — TerraSafe is releasing it’s first plastic-free products leveraging dissolving, all-natural film technology.

Youngsville, NC – July 8, 2025 – TerraSafe, a rural U.S. materials innovation company, last week announced its merger with DisSolves, a dissolvable film packaging startup. The combination paves the way for two groundbreaking plastic-free products to market: water-soluble laundry detergent sheets and edible pod packaging, which are now available for pre-order. The merger unites DisSolves' pioneering water-soluble film technology with TerraSafe's platform, accelerating the mission to make plastic-free consumer packaged goods the simpler, smarter choice.

"We're making food packaging what it always should have been: simple, intuitive, and designed for everyday living," says Julie Willoughby, TerraSafe’s CTO. "When we combine cutting-edge materials science with practical needs, plastic-free—which means using regenerative feedstocks from nature and the bioeconomy—isn't just an option; it becomes the easiest one. We’re dedicated to significantly reducing the risk of your food picking up microplastics from its packaging."

The Future of Convenience, Without Plastic

Edible, dissolving pod film: High-performance packaging for single-serve products that fully dissolve in water.
No mess. No measuring. No plastic. Just clean, intuitive, one-way convenience.

TerraSafe's edible, water-soluble pods are crafted from natural, food-safe ingredients, dissolving cleanly in beverages without residue or plastic waste. Designed for powdered products like protein, coffee, and supplements, these pods are made from GRAS food ingredients and offer pre-portioned convenience without the environmental cost of traditional plastic or PVA-based alternatives. TerraSafe is currently partnering with food and beverage brands and offering early access to podded samples.

Also launching is the first high-efficiency, plastic-free laundry detergent sheet. This compact, mess-free sheet with embedded cleaning agents eliminates the need for plastic containers entirely, enabling truly circular secondary packaging solutions like recyclable paperboard. "This is exactly what our platform was built for: solving the critical challenges that have kept industries stuck on plastic," said Scott Bolin, CEO of TerraSafe. "It's not just a plastic-free alternative—it’s a better delivery system that unlocks truly circular packaging."

Now Enrolling Partners and Accepting Pre-Orders

To demonstrate its platform's success, TerraSafe is releasing limited pre-order sample kits of both products this summer via terrasafematerials.com. The company is also expanding its corporate partnership program, working with brands to replace plastic in food, beverage, and household product packaging with dissolving pods and films.

TerraSafe's technologies, including barrier films, foams, and coatings, are designed for existing manufacturing infrastructure and align with home-compostable and recyclable end-of-life solutions.

"This is more than a product launch,” said Bolin. "It’s a proof point that the future of packaging is already here—and it doesn’t have to come wrapped in plastic."
