Product Information

It does not include any material which would normally be re-used in a manufacturing process to avoid it becoming plastic waste. For example, reintroducing scrap or regrind into the manufacturing process after minimal reprocessing. Minimal reprocessing includes shredding and grinding. Post-consumer plastic Beverage bottles are among the most common PET products. 1) Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET or PETE)

Tribo-tape is an iglidur® high-performance tribologically designed plastic adhesive tape which is ideal for lining surfaces and shapes, as well as for transport optimisation, for machine beds, and as edge protection, etc. This reduces noise and creates a smooth sliding motion without reducing co-efficient of friction.While we believe that plastic alternatives are a must, and support initiatives to develop them, the reality is that plastic is here and will be for some time. Therefore, I say let’s try to better understand it, rather than ignore it or simply bash it. In the end, not all plastic is bad. Humanity has certainly benefited from it in some ways and you can even make arguments that support that it’s also been beneficial to the environment – although in very specific examples.

Cellulose tape is harder to find, especially in the United States, but it is available through select retailers and online stores. Cellulose tape is biodegradable and used in medical tape. We love noissue for it’s totally customizable tapes, and eco-friendly materials. We also give a thumbs up to the kraft gummed paper tape from Life Without Plastic, as it’s versatility means you can use it for numerous things. What to Look For in Eco-Friendly Tapes Materials However, it’s understandable that many people make the assumption that it’s one material, all the same from top to bottom. In fact, there are hundreds of types of plastic (also called polymers), but only a handful that we interact with on a regular basis. Paper tape is a much more eco-friendly alternative to conventional tape, which is made from plastic.Examples: Plastic/cling wrap, sandwich and bread bags, bubble wrap, garbage bags, grocery bags and beverage cups. 5) Polypropylene (PP)

Unlike plastic tape, which relies on fossil fuels, the production of paper tape helps reduce dependence on finite resources. By supporting the use of renewable materials, companies and individuals contribute to conserving natural habitats and promoting responsible forestry practices. Post-consumer plastic is plastic that’s generated by the end user of the product when it can no longer be used for its intended purpose.Hand applied: although vinyl tape is strong, it can still easily be applied and torn by hand as well as by using a tape dispenser. Manufactured from 35-micron, vinyl tape can be used with or without a dispenser and can be easily ripped by hand. The different types of vinyl tape we have at Swiftpak are: Examples: Eyeglasses, baby and sports bottles, electronics, CD/DVDs, lighting fixtures and clear plastic cutlery. Research shows that paper is the preferred option for many consumers. In fact, eight in ten (81%) of people in the UK are trying to cut their plastic waste and 46% feel guilty about the amount of plastic they use. Recycled plastic comes from plastic waste that has been reprocessed from pre-consumer plastic or post-consumer plastic by using a chemical or mechanical manufacturing process. This is so it can be used either for its original purpose or for other purposes. This does not include organic recycling. Pre-consumer plastic
