2.2 How Water-Based Coatings Help Meet EPR Requirements

Water-based coatings provide an effective solution for packaging manufacturers seeking to comply with EPR regulations. These coatings are biodegradable and compostable, meaning they break down naturally in the environment without leaving harmful residues. Unlike plastic coatings, which are difficult to recycle and often contaminate recycling streams, water-based coatings ensure that paper-based packaging can be more easily processed in recycling or composting facilities. By adopting water-based coatings, manufacturers reduce the environmental burden associated with plastic packaging.

3.1 EN13432 Certification: Compostability and Biodegradability in Packaging

Din EN13432 Seek Lable The EN13432 standard is a European regulation that sets the criteria for the compostability and biodegradability of packaging materials. Under EN13432, packaging materials must decompose into natural substances within a set period (typically 12 weeks) when subjected to industrial composting , Water-based barrier coatings. The material must also meet specific criteria regarding the absence of harmful residues in the compost , Water-based barrier coatings.
