Unfortunately the very properties that make plastics sit around in landfills - their resistance to being broken down by the environment or living organisms - are exactly the properties you want for packaging. You either find good methods of recycling or disposing good packaging material, or you change your behavior so that you're utilizing less packaging material. Anything that could be replaced by a dissolvable film probably doesn't need to be there in the first place.
