Essentra Tapes targets e-commerce packaging with paper-based tear tape

Ian Beresford, head of marketing and development at Essentra Tapes, said: “Legislation and consumer passion are driving the industry to seek alternatives to virgin plastics,” adding that it offers a circularly recyclable opening solution for paper and board packs, eliminating the plastic film used in standard tear tapes, and “focusing on fibre recovery”.

“We have endeavoured to listen to and work with our customers and key E-commerce industry stakeholders to meet and future-proof the sector’s needs, mainly when it is essential to exceed elevated customer expectations.”
