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
