FAQs

Our paper-based adhesive tape solutions are designed for recycling: they seamlessly integrate into appealing packaging designs, which can be recycled when disposed of alongside board material (recyclability test according to the Cepi recyclability laboratory test method, version 2). Adhesive tape solutions that carry our sustainability marker must be certified as recycling-friendly or recyclable according to one of these certification methods: INGEDE Method 12 or PTS-RH 021:2012.
