Nvirovate testifies at Washington State Senate & House - Compostable Label Solution
Nvirovate brings to the attention of lawmakers the need to support WA State and US Fruit and Vegetable exports. Soon Canada will enact compostable produce label laws in place in France, NZ, Australia that requires all imported produce have compostable labels. This is opposed by the label makers; Nvirovate offers compostable adhesive that solves a major portion of the problem. WA State Senate Bill 6180 and House Bill 2301 moved forward to study the issue through September 1, 2025.

Every year, billions of packages are shipped in the U.S. alone. While Amazon and others are trying to shrink the size and environmental footprint of the boxes and mailers being used, one sticky challenge to solve is the shipping labels plastered on each item. The labels typically use glues that are petroleum-based and not biodegradable.
A Seattle-based startup is working on a fix.
Nvirovate is commercializing a soy-based, compostable alternative for the label glue, which is technically known as a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Production of the plant-derived adhesive generates at least 70% less greenhouse gases than traditional glues, according to the company. November 16, 2022
