A biodegradable pressure-sensitive adhesive which can be readily coated indirectly onto biodegradable carriers, which comprises

at least 60 wt % of at least one polyurethane, and
at least one sulfonated carboxylic ester; and a method for producing a biodegradable adhesive tape, which comprises providing a pressure-sensitive adhesive of the invention as a dispersion in at least one organic solvent; coating this dispersion onto a release liner; removing the organic solvent; and transferring the pressure-sensitive adhesive onto a biodegradable carrier.

The present invention provides solvent-based compostable cold seal release lacquers for use in packaging structures. The lacquers of the invention comprise resins, such as polyamide resins, comprising greater than 90% biobased carbon, generally prepared from renewable sources, e.g., plants such as rice. The present invention also provides the use of the inventive compostable lacquers as cold seal release lacquers in cold seal packaging, along with eco-friendly packaging film, etc., and has the potential to make the cold seal packaging fully compostable.
