Since sustainability has many facets, there are various possibilities to drive eco-friendly packaging by implementing small changes.
One aspect is saving material by matching the packaging tape with the specific application. Another approach is choosing a tape with minimized fossil-based content, since not only the amount of tape but also its composition affects the packaging’s sustainability. There are various adhesive tapes based on natural resources or recycled components which are just as strong and reliable as many conventional tapes.
The probably best-known biobased carrier material is paper. It is suited for mono-material packaging concepts, and at monta originates from sustainable forestry and is free from silicone. Another biobased option is PLA, a carrier material basically made from corn starch. Just as eco-friendly is a film consisting of reprocessed OPP. All monta Greenline tapes are coated with natural rubber adhesive – an adhesive technology offering a reliable packaging application while including natural components.
