Compostable Materials
HERMA’s compostable self-adhesive labels offer a certified, high performance solution for brands reducing environmental impact without compromising quality.
Certified compostable labels – sustainability that disappears naturally.
Compostable Materials
These HERMA adhesive are designed and certified for industrial and home composting systems, where the entire label, facestock and adhesive, must meet strict Australian composting standards. Designed to deliver reliable tack and consistent adhesion during use, these adhesives still break down completely in industrial and home composting environments, supporting brands committed to reducing waste and improving packaging circularity.
When paired with certified compostable face materials, HERMA compostable adhesives ensure that labels do not compromise the environmental performance of compostable packaging. This makes it ideal for businesses aiming to align their labelling with sustainability targets, regulatory requirements, or consumer expectations for eco friendly packaging.
