Berkshire Labels claims environmental first

Berkshire Labels claims to be the first company to offer a fully biodegradable and compostable self adhesive label range that conforms to EN13432 in its own right. 

The BioTAK range includes a fully biodegradable and compostable adhesive which has recently been accredited with the Biodegradable and Compostable packaging standard EN13432.

The BioTAK range includes a white semi gloss paper, kraft natural unbleached paper, white and clear PLA and Natureflex, which is available in white, clear and metallized. BioTAK is suitable for chilled and ambient conditions; and is currently being used on beauty and healthcare products, food packaging, drinks and stationary.

The success of BioTAK has been realized worldwide with customers in Australia, USA, Africa and Europe. The BioTAK S100 adhesive has not only enabled Berkshire Labels to produce a range of self adhesive labels, but is also being used on compostable tapes, overlaminating film, a retail glue and as a laminating adhesive.

Berkshire Labels, also known as The Green Label Company, has been accredited to the Environmental Standard ISO14001 since August 2007. The company has been working on this project since 2001 and have trialed green inks at its premises in Hungerford, as well as offering customers collection and recycling of backing paper to reduce the amount of waste to landfill.
