Why it's designed for recycling

Our paper-based adhesive tape solutions can enable your customers to achieve their sustainability targets and goals. With our paper-based adhesive tape solutions we aim to develop more sustainable products. At the same time, recyclability is – and should be – becoming more and more important. This can be achieved by using ‘mono-material packaging’, avoiding the use of virgin plastics, which, of course, also applies to integrated tear tapes. They can be recycled when disposed alongside with the board material (Cepi recyclability laboratory test method, version 2, Cepi.org).

Sustainability meets performance and efficiency

Our new paper-based adhesive tape solutions are equipped with strong paper backing and high adhesive performance. They're suitable for all market standard tape applicators for smooth unwinding and proven processability.

Future-proof tape technology

Our paper-based solutions tick the following boxes when it comes to more sustainable aspects:
• Paper backings from sustainably managed sources
• Solvent-free coating processes
• 100% recycled paper core
• Close cooperation with renowned institutes to test and certify that once a packaging is disposed of, our tapes can simply be recycled along with the packaging material (Recyclability test according to the Cepi recyclability laboratory test method, version 2.  Cepi.org).
