Wedderburn plastic-free, compostable label range

Wedderburn partnered with sustainable material company Bio4Life to introduce the Wedderburn plastic-free, compostable label range.

Its compostable range consists of 14 different materials, including traditional white paper; fibrous, natural looking paper; and even plastic-free film that’s oil and grease resistant.

All materials are free from plastic and are predominantly made from natural, renewable resources to minimise the environmental impact. Each material is coated with the BioTAK adhesive, a certified compostable adhesive for labelling with permanent tack that adheres to a wide variety of substrates. Materials and the adhesive are certified commercially compostable (to EU standards EN13432) and printed with compostable inks. Both materials and adhesive are approved for direct food contact.

The labels are also certified plastic-free by A Plastic Planet, and businesses choosing to use these labels can add the plastic-free certification mark to their packaging.
