Siegwerk has announced the certification of its Cirkit Natubar PR4798 and Natubar CT4326 water based coating for home compostability in compliance with EN 13432, issued by TÜV Austria.
The water based coatings are formulated with non modified natural polymers, designed to enhance water and grease resistance in packaging applications, today mainly used for paper plates to replace lamination. These innovative coatings not only allow the final packaging to be in full compliance with the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWR) 94/62/EC and the US regulation ‘Model Toxics in Packaging Legislation’, but are also exempt from the Single Use Plastics Directive EU 2019/904.
‘Achieving TÜV Austria certification for home compostability is a key milestone in our circular economy efforts. It shows we're meeting future packaging regulations with high performance and environmental responsibility,’ said Gilles LeMoigne, business unit head circular economy coatings.
