HERMA: New Self-Adhesive Label Achieves Highest Environmental Standard
Two HERMA self-adhesive label materials that can be composted at home and in the garden have now also passed the critical earthworm toxicity test in accordance with the Australian standard, AS 5810. When it comes to the composting of packaging materials at home and in the garden, this standard is considered the highest environmental standard for packaging worldwide due to its strict requirements.
“This means that HERMA offers probably the only self-adhesive materials at present that comply with this standard,” said Dr. Stefan Kissling, head of development of Adhesives and Special Coatings for HERMA's Self-Adhesive Materials Division. The certification was obtained through the DIN CERTCO Institute, a subsidiary of TÜV Rheinland.
