Abstract: A dissolvable surfactant composite according to the present technology is configured to provide a waste-free flexible and durable composite article useful for various single use applications, including as a single-use image bearing article. The dissolvable surfactant composite may have at least a dual capability, such that when the composite article is no longer needed, the dissolvable surfactant composite may readily dissolve and wash away upon application of water or other liquid solution, such that generation of waste that must be disposed of as trash or through traditional recycling processes is avoided. In some aspects the dissolvable surfactant composite may be adapted to provide cleaning compositions for different applications upon dissolution. Thus, in such aspects, the dissolvable surfactant composite not only avoids waste generation, but may also provide dual utility as both a composite article, as well as a cleaning solution.
