Novolex announced two achievements for its compostable butter wrap: the 2025 Gold Award for Sustainability from the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), and certification as compostable in commercial facilities by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI).

Manufactured by Novolex company Shields, the TerreGloss and Terrecote  butter wraps blend performance and sustainability to meet the needs of both consumers and dairies alike.

“We are incredibly proud to earn FPA’s Gold Award for Sustainability and BPI’s certification for our butter wrap,” said Adrianne Tipton, PhD, Chief Technology Officer at Novolex. “At Novolex, we are dedicated to making exceptional products, advancing sustainability and offering a wide range of innovative packaging choices. These achievements reaffirm our commitment to pioneering the best in packaging solutions.”  

Novolex makes TerreGloss and Terrecote butter wraps using a proprietary, high-performance blend of wax that is free of intentionally added PFAS. The wrap, made for 4 oz. butter sticks, is one of the first of its kind to earn the BPI certification for compostability. The certification verifies that the wrap meets all the applicable requirements for industrial composting, unlike wraps made with paper-foil or paper-poly, for example.

Among their many features, TerreGloss and Terrecote butter wraps are:

  • Made with a smooth wax-coated finish providing an excellent barrier to butter fats
  • Manufactured from a renewable paper base
  • Available for custom printing using environmentally responsible inks
  • Protects the product with water and oxygen barriers
  • Provides easy product release while removing the wrapper
  • Available in roll sizes suitable for Elgin (Eastern)-style and Western-style packages for butter sticks
  • Also offered in a gloss or matte finish.
