BALK™ PSA Earns the First Certified BPI Commercial and Home Certification in Adhesive Category
SHENZHEN, CHINA – Shenzhen JF Bio Products announces that BALK™, its flagship bio-based compostable pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), has achieved a milestone as the first adhesive product to receive BPI's Commercial and Home Certification.
The Challenge: The "Missing Link" in Sustainable Packaging
While packaging materials increasingly adopt compostable alternatives, conventional adhesives in tapes, labels, and stickers persist as environmental contaminants. BALK™ addresses this critical gap with an adhesive engineered to decompose completely—leaving no microplastics or heavy metals in soil.
Certification Scope
BPI's dual certification validates complete breakdown in:
- Professional composting facilities
- Properly managed home compost systems
Unlike industrial-only standards requiring high-heat environments, BALK™ decomposes under lower-temperature backyard conditions—accessible even where curbside composting is unavailable.
Partnership Opportunities
BALK™ invites manufacturers and brands to integrate this certified solution into product portfolios. Custom formulations available for specific applications. International expansion underway through licensing, distribution, and strategic partnerships.
