Characteristics and Applications of Biodegradable Paper Tape

The world today is experiencing unprecedented changes not seen in a century, and the global packaging industry is no exception. The functional demands on packaging within the industry chain are gradually shifting from basic protective functions to diverse functions, including consumer-friendliness, green low-carbon solutions, and smart connectivity.

Characteristics of Biodegradable Paper Tape

Sustainable Materials

Biodegradable paper tape is made from plant-based cellulose materials, sourced from renewable plant resources, making it environmentally friendly.

Biodegradability

The substrate can biodegrade more quickly after disposal, achieving a degradation rate of 90% in 180 days.

Easy to Tear

Biodegradable paper tape is non-toxic, odorless, highly transparent, easy to tear, and leaves no residue when used.

Strong and Durable

Biodegradable paper tape has good flexibility, dimensional stability, breathability, and heat resistance.

Customizable Printing

Custom printing designs can be added to biodegradable paper tape to meet the specific needs of brands or applications.

Applications of Biodegradable Paper Tape

In the packaging field, biodegradable films for food packaging can be used for sealing, bonding, and securing cartons, boxes, etc. In office and home environments, it can be used for sealing documents, books, envelopes, and it can also be used for crafting, card making, posters, and decorative items. Among these, the application of biodegradable paper tape in the courier industry stands out:

Traditional plastic tape is widely used in courier packaging, but its non-biodegradable nature places significant pressure on the environment. Biodegradable paper tape, with its environmentally friendly and degradable characteristics, has become a new choice for the courier industry.

This tape is made from paper and biodegradable adhesive, and can be decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment after use, eventually turning into water and carbon dioxide, without polluting the soil and groundwater. In courier packaging, biodegradable paper tape can replace traditional plastic tape, reducing the generation of plastic waste.

With the rapid development of the courier industry, the amount of packaging waste is also increasing. Using biodegradable paper tape not only helps reduce plastic pollution but also promotes the green transformation of the courier industry. Many courier companies and e-commerce platforms are actively adopting this eco-friendly tape to respond to government calls and meet consumer demand for environmentally friendly products.

Additionally, biodegradable paper tape has certain cost advantages. With continuous advancements in production technology and increased output, its price is gradually decreasing, making it affordable for more courier companies to use this eco-friendly material.
