The new Recycotape™ Extreme is a version of Recycotape™ that is available in a heavier basis weight for more durability. This makes it better suited for heavier packages, longer shipping routes and harsh conditions.

Designed for Recycling Compatibility
Unlike polypropylene or PVC film tape backings, Recycotape™ Extreme is re-pulpable and does not introduce non-recyclable plastic into corrugated recycling streams. When combined with a re-pulpable adhesive, the finished tape can be recycled alongside boxes and cartons, contributing usable fiber that can be reprocessed into new paper products, based on certified third-party testing.
Flexible Options for Paper Packaging Systems
Recycotape™ Extreme is available in 145gsm and 165gsm basis weights, in brown or white, offering flexibility for a wide range of recyclable packaging tape applications.
By combining paper tape performance with recycling compatibility, Recycotape™ Extreme supports the shift toward renewable, fiber-based packaging, without compromising reliability on the production line.
