Sinclair T55 Certified Home and Industrial Compostable Fruit Label is a breakthrough product that has been nominated for the prestigious Fresh Market Award 2025. This recognition honors innovative solutions that are reshaping the fruit and vegetable market while supporting the sustainable development of the entire industry.

The first fruit label of its kind worldwide

Sinclair T55 is the first fruit label in the world with full compostability certification as a finished product, both in home and industrial composting environments. This means that not only the raw materials used in its production meet environmental standards – but the entire label, in its finished form, has been tested and approved as fully compostable.

The decomposition process of T55 takes no longer than 12 months, and the product leaves behind no harmful residues or microplastics.

Highest standards and certifications

The Sinclair T55 label has been approved by leading certification bodies:

• TÜV Austria OK Compost HOME – confirmation of compostability in home environments,

• TÜV Austria OK Compost INDUSTRIAL – compliance with industrial composting standards,

• DIN CERTCO – compliance with EN 13432 and EN 14995 standards.

Importantly, Sinclair T55 has received certification for the finished product, which sets it apart from other solutions on the market.

Supporting the circular economy

Sinclair T55 is a direct response to today’s market challenges and growing social pressure to reduce waste. The implementation of this solution allows the fruit and vegetable industry to:

• limit the production and emission of plastic waste,

• eliminate the need to remove labels from fruit before disposal,

• support the concept of a circular economy,

• minimize negative environmental impact while maintaining high functionality.

Functionality and performance without compromise

Although ecology is the key advantage of T55, its practical business use has not been overlooked.

• The label is fully compatible with Sinclair’s automatic labeling systems,

• maintains full efficiency in high-speed application,

• ensures durability and adhesion to fruit surfaces,

• guarantees legibility of prints, codes, and graphics throughout the supply chain.

This way, producers and distributors receive a product that is both eco-friendly and highly functional.
