TIPA Compostable Packaging, Nordhorn, Germany, together with Bio4Pack, its European subsidiary, has launched a new certified home compostable label for fresh produce.

Produce stickers are one of the top five most persistent contaminants in compost, prompting a global transition to compostable alternatives driven by both market and regulation trends.

TIPA’s home compostable produce label stands out in the marketplace with resistance to moisture, while remaining flexible. Its pressure-sensitive adhesive allows for strong adherence on a variety of produce, ranging from the smooth skin of a banana or mango to the complex, rough skin of an orange or cantaloupe, without leaving a residue on the produce.
