Biodegradable Window Stickers FAQs
Biodegradable window stickers are designed to break down naturally when exposed to environmental factors, unlike regular stickers made from materials that persist in landfills for years. These stickers are crafted from eco-friendly materials, so that they decompose without leaving harmful residues.
The decomposition time varies based on environmental conditions but generally ranges from a few months to a couple of years. In good conditions, so me stickers can start breaking down within six months, while in outdoor settings, it may take longer.
Biodegradable window stickers are typically weather – resistant and can withstand moderate outdoor exposure. They usually last 6 – 12 months outdoors, depending on the exposure to sunlight, moisture, and other elements, before they start degrading.
Most biodegradable stickers are made from natural or plant-based materials like wood pulp, cornstarch, or biodegradable polymers. Some also use soy-based or water-based inks, to further enhance their eco-friendly properties.
Label service offers full-color printing is available for biodegradable stickers. The inks used are typically eco-friendly and water-based, ensuring that the sticker remains sustainable without compromising on design quality.
Yes, biodegradable window stickers are designed with strong, eco-friendly adhesives to ensure they stick well on glass surfaces. T hey may not be as durable as traditional adhesives, and are purpose built for short-to medium-term applications.
Most biodegradable stickers are designed for easy removal. Because the adhesives are often water-based, they leave minimal to no residue, which makes them more suited for short-term promotions and temporary signage.
Biodegradable stickers are made to withstand normal wear and tear, but they may gradually lose vibrancy when exposed to direct sunlight or harsh weather. For indoor use, they maintain quality for a longer period.
It’s best to dispose of biodegradable stickers in compostable or organic waste bins. Avoid putting them in recycling bins, as they’re designed to break down naturally rather than go through traditional recycling processes.
All label service biodegradable window stickers are designed to meet UK environmental and safety standards set by the Environment Agency and specific packaging and labelling regulations. Many stickers are certified by recognized environmental standards, like EN 13432, which verifies their composability.
