Around the globe, more sustainable solutions are being sought by end customers, and industrial manufacturers are being asked to focus on sustainability agendas.

In the world of logistics, packaging solutions are an important consideration for greater sustainability. Adhesive tapes might not be the first things you think of for packaging to become more sustainable. However, they are necessary for closing and securing the packaging, for protection during transport, and can be part of a more sustainable packaging solution.
Choosing a more sustainable packaging tape makes sense. Why wouldn’t you choose a more sustainable solution if you have the option? Adhesive tape is used across a wide range of industries including automotive, machinery and equipment, packaging, and food and beverage, so changing to a more sustainable option can have a big impact. More sustainable adhesive tape can also contribute to a positive perception of your business among end-users because it is a visible part of the packaging.
More sustainable market opportunities for distributors
However, some industrial trade distributors remain unsure or unaware of the benefits of products with sustainable content. Furthermore, not everyone has the time to analyze in detail the best solutions available in the market.
In choosing a supplier for more sustainable solutions, customers should look at the whole supply chain. At tesa, we understood that this is the case and that more sustainable adhesive tapes can be a small but important part of a more sustainable future.
We have developed a range of quality filmic-based and paper-based packaging tapes with sustainable content. These can support distributors in meeting market demands and help end customers achieve their sustainability targets.
Contributing to sustainability
Products made from bio-based materials or recycled content can support the reduction of emissions and help businesses to achieve their sustainability goals. As part of tesa’s commitment to sustainable growth, we have set the goal of significantly increasing product sustainability and are working on this every day. A separate target for us is our aim to reduce our indirect supply chain emissions (Scope 3) by at least 20% against 2018 baseline figures by 2030.
Long life quality

We know that all tapes must be reliable, and that skepticism can arise when using more sustainable options. However, due to our extensive testing program and our high-quality standards in product development, we are convinced that whether you choose a more sustainable or traditional tesa® tape there will be no difference in the performance or the job they do.

We assist them with various product certifications and provide full-service support, including fast and reliable sampling and order processes.
