Compostable Packaging Tape Is A Greener Alternative To Plastic

Oct 27, 2022

Compostable packaging tape is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic tape. It can be made from paper or biodegradable material. Compostable tapes are a great way to keep packaging materials out of landfills. However, you must be careful when buying this type of tape.


Most packing tapes are not recyclable, including PVC and polypropylene. Instead, look for "Kraft" tape, which is made of paper. This is a type of eco-friendly packaging material that is recyclable and free of petroleum. It can be used to wrap packages, as well as to seal cartons.


Compostable packaging tape meets the AS 4736 (2006) and ISO 17088 (2012) standards for compostability. The material is made of 90% renewable resources and meets the standards for industrial composting. In addition, the product must have complete biodegradation without any negative effects. It should also be durable enough to resist degradation.


Compostable packaging tape uses plant-based cellulose film with a natural rubber adhesive. Compostable tape is a greener alternative to plastic and helps keep recyclable materials out of landfills. These tapes have no toxicity when composted at home and break down to half their weight in about 60 days. They can also be recycled in a commercial composting facility.
