Sustainability has become a key driver in packaging decisions, especially as brands look to reduce plastic waste and transition toward fiber-based packaging systems. One area gaining increased attention is the role of paper tape backings in recyclable packaging solutions.

The Recycotape™ family was developed to support this shift by offering bio-based, recyclable paper tape backings made for the production of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) packaging tapes. Manufactured using FSC® controlled, responsibly sourced fibers, Recycotape™ products provide a renewable alternative to traditional polypropylene and PVC film tape backings.

Performance Without Compromise

Sustainability must also deliver real-world performance. Recycotape™ Extreme builds on the same eco-friendly foundation as Recycotape™, offering enhanced extensibility and strength for heavy-duty carton sealing and demanding packaging applications.

This Earth Day, helping customers reach their sustainability growth means offering sustainable packaging materials that balance renewable content, recyclability, and performance. The Recycotape™ family provides a practical path forward, helping reduce plastic waste while supporting fiber-based packaging systems.
