Q&A:
 
Are PURE Labels 100% Compostable?
PURE Labels is the only certified compostable pressure-sensitive adhesive label. The entire label is certified compostable, as well as the adhesives.
 
How confident can I be that the labels are truly compostable?
It is important to be aware that other labels marketed as compostable or biodegradable may not be authentic. This is unfortunate as it creates confusion and distrust among label and packaging buyers. Additionally it muddles the integrity of sustainable packaging. There are various test methods and standards for compostability for adhesive labels.  The facestock and the adhesive must be compostable. Be sure to ask if the adhesive is also compostable, and if it is certified. A compostable certification (not just a test) is the only way to be sure the adhesives are truly compostable.
 
Is the liner for PURE Labels also compostable?
The silicone-coated paper liner is not compostable, which is an industry-wide challenge. No liner in the world is compostable (not yet) but we are working on that solution and very near solving it.
 
Are labels printed with compostable inks?
We have tested the inks and although compostable inks are not yet available for digital printing, the inks are benign to the composting process which means that both the label and the inks can be comosted. Labels can be printed with compostable inks on commercial flexo printers.  Flexo print runs tend to be rather large (e.g. starting 50,000 or 100,000 labels per artwork) so often the labels are printed digitally, which allow for print runs from 1000 labels and up.  We print on a variety of digital printers including  excellent quality results on the HP Indigo series of commercial printers. (The ink used is proprietary to HP and it is called electro-ink.)
