What makes the Bio4Life range so unique?
Bio4Life is committed to ensuring they leave a minimal footprint on the environment and use materials mostly made from natural and renewable resources. This care and commitment to sustainability is passed on to users without the need to compromise on their label quality.
Most unique of all is their patented BioTAK compostable adhesive.
Compostable Adhesive
Again, it’s certified to EN13432 the European Industrial Composting Standard. Not compromising on performance, BioTAK is permanently tacky, has a strong initial tack and adheres to a wide variety of substrates.
The BioTAK adhesive is made from a water-borne PSA based on a specially modified acrylic co-polymer. It also complies with EC1935/2004 and FDA (175.105) for direct food applications. Testing is always recommended and Wedderburn is happy to provide samples.

More About Industrial Composting
This type of composting is done inside an industrial composting facility. Within these facilities materials are composted under controlled physiological circumstances. This enables the materials to turn into compost within 6 weeks with no toxic residues.
It is important to note that industrial composting is not the same as home composting. The latter concerns a process where the circumstances (like humidity, temperature, etc.) are variable and unpredictable, like in your backyard.
Amazing service and our compostable labels look great! Wedderburn are helping us in our ongoing journey to minimise our business impact on the environment
