Etiket Schiller is further expanding its range of environmentally friendly labels: Two compostable adhesive composites for paper labels are new to the portfolio. The paper and adhesive are certified in accordance with DIN EN 13432 and bear the Keimling compostability mark.
The self-adhesive labels can be stuck directly onto foods such as fruit and vegetables. Etiket Schiller is thus consistently pursuing its comprehensive sustainability concept and aims to further strengthen its position as a provider of sustainable labels.
Environmentally friendly labelling
Etiket Schiller is now offering compostable self-adhesive paper labels in two versions: as Glossy coated adhesive label paper with PEFC certification and as Eco-quality thermal paper with FSC seal. In combination with compostable adhesives, they are suitable for direct contact with dry, non-greasy foods and for packaging that is intended to be completely biodegradable.
The new paper labels complement Etiket Schiller's selection of sustainable materials. The company from Plüderhausen also already offers biodegradable films.
Tested compostability
Both labelling materials are DIN EN 13432 certified and industrially compostable. In order to comply with the internationally recognised standard, the labels must be proven to have decomposed after three months. Certification in accordance with DIN EN 13432 thus ensures that the product is biodegradable. The label material also bears the Keimling certification mark from European Bioplastics e. V., which can be awarded on the basis of the DIN EN 13432 standard.
„In recent years, we have been working intensively on sustainable labels based on a wide variety of materials. One of the biggest challenges is the appealing design of biodegradable labels in the context of compostability. We pass this expertise on to our customers in order to provide them with the best possible advice and support when it comes to green packaging.“
