Usage:

Contents: What is in the HydroSack®? It contains a mixture of Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) and FSC (sustainably sourced) wood pulp. SAP is a compound used in disposable diapers and other super absorbent products. The SAP used in HydroSack®s was specifically chosen for its eco-friendly nature, as there are other super absorbent compounds (and therefore other products utilizing them in the market) that can be harmful to the environment, and are even banned in some countries.
