Banana skins and labels can now both be disposed of as compost as the HERMA adhesive 62Q is certified in accordance with the strict Australian standard.
Two HERMA self-adhesive label materials that can be composted at home and in the garden have now also passed the critical earthworm toxicity test in accordance with the Australian standard AS 5810.
The certification was obtained through the DIN CERTCO institute, a subsidiary of TÜV Rheinland. The basis for this is the new adhesive 62Q, which HERMA launched at the start of 2023.
The certification applies in conjunction with the two label materials HERMAextracoat (grade 242) and HERMAtherm Bio (grade 909).
The complete biodegradability, compostability and ecotoxicity were also checked. The two HERMA self-adhesive materials already met these requirements previously and were therefore already able to bear the label “DIN geprüft – gartenkompostierbar” (“DIN tested – compostable in the garden”) — at least outside of Australia and New Zealand. Now the certification also applies to Australia and New Zealand.
