Definitions
- Consumer product comprising a container and at least one water-soluble unit dose article.
- Water-soluble unit dose articles are liked by consumers due to their convenience and ease of use.
- Water-soluble unit dose articles comprise a water-soluble film shaped to form at least one internal compartment which houses a single use dose of a detergent. Upon addition of the water-soluble unit dose article to water, the water-soluble film dissolves and/or disintegrates releasing the detergent into the surrounding water to produce a wash liquor.
- Such water-soluble unit dose articles have historically been stored and transported in rigid or flexible plastic containers. Consumers purchase containers comprising a plurality of water-soluble unit dose articles. The containers are shipped from the place of manufacture to supermarkets and once purchased are stored in consumers' homes. Recently such water-soluble unit dose articles have been made commercially available in containers made from biodegradable material such as paper-based containers.
- Water-soluble unit dose articles stored in containers made from biodegradable material may be exposed to an environment of higher moisture and higher humidity compared to plastic containers because such containers have higher moisture vapour transfer rates than plastic containers. Exposure to higher moisture and humidity may lead to problems including discolouration of the liquid detergent composition, or changes in the properties of the water-soluble film. Changes in the properties of the water-soluble film may make the water-soluble unit dose articles stickier, with greater tendency to stick to each other or to the inside wall of the container. Changes in the properties of the water-soluble film may make any ink used for printed information on the water-soluble unit dose articles more likely to smear and to become illegible. Changes in the properties of the water-soluble film may impact the integrity of a barrier layer applied on the container inside wall when the film comes into contact with the barrier layer.
- the present invention relates to a consumer product comprising at least one water-soluble unit dose article and a container wherein the at least one water-soluble unit dose article comprises at least one water-soluble film orientated to create at least one unit dose internal compartment.
- the at least one unit dose internal compartment comprises a liquid detergent composition.
- the container comprises a container body which comprises a first compartment in which the at least one water-soluble unit dose article is contained. The first compartment is accessible through a first opening.

- At least part of the interior surface of the container body is constructed from paper-based material.
