Bio4Life Introduces Revolutionary BioTAK® Home Compostable Pressure Sensitive Adhesive, Safe for Direct Food Contact

Bio4Life, a leading innovator in sustainable materials, proudly announces the launch of its groundbreaking home compostable pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), the first of its kind that is certified on its own and suitable for direct food contact. This new adhesive represents a major step forward in reducing waste and promoting environmental responsibility in the food packaging sector.
With growing concerns over plastic waste and the need for more sustainable solutions, the introduction of this home compostable PSA provides an eco-friendly alternative that does not compromise on performance. The adhesive is designed to be used in food packaging applications, offering a safe, effective, and environmentally responsible option for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers alike.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Home Compostable: The adhesive is certified to break down completely in a home composting environment, helping to reduce landfill waste and offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-based adhesives.
  • Direct Food Contact Safe: Fully compliant with industry safety standards, this adhesive is safe for direct contact with food, making it ideal for packaging labels, fruit labels and other food-related applications.
  • Superior Performance: Besides being compostable, the adhesive retains excellent bonding strength and durability.
  • Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly: Made from renewable, non-toxic materials, this product supports the broader movement toward reducing plastic pollution and promoting circular economies.

“We are incredibly excited to offer a solution that helps address the urgent need for more sustainable packaging alternatives,” said Arjan Klapwijk, CEO of Bio4Life. “This new home compostable pressure-sensitive adhesive is a game-changer. In addition to the long-standing BioTAK® S100 (which is exclusively industrially compostable), the introduction of the home-compostable BioTAK® HC700 represents our commitment to eco-friendly stewardship. By offering a product that is both food-safe and compostable, we are empowering businesses to make more sustainable choices without sacrificing performance or safety.”

A Step Towards Sustainable Packaging
The introduction of this innovative adhesive is part of Bio4Life’s ongoing commitment to advancing sustainability in packaging and materials science. As consumers and industries alike demand more sustainable products, Bio4Life continues to invest in research and development to create solutions that help reduce environmental impact.
