What Makes ShurTAPE’s rPET Tape Different?
Shurtape’s rPET packaging tapes are made from 90% post-consumer recycled polyester film, primarily sourced from recycled PET bottles. This innovative tape reduces the reliance on virgin plastics, which is a win for manufacturers aiming to cut down on plastic waste while maintaining the highest levels of packaging performance.
But the benefits don’t stop at sustainability. This rPET tape is a direct substitute for traditional packaging tapes, meaning it integrates seamlessly into your existing packaging equipment—whether you use manual or automated carton sealing processes. No costly equipment upgrades, no headaches—just better packaging.
ShurTAPEs rPET : Reaching Circular Economy
For manufacturers committed to sustainability, Shurtape’s rPET series makes it easier to reach those ambitious goals. The shift away from virgin plastic is substantial. A manufacturer using 5 pallets of Shurtape rPET tape annually will eliminate more than 4,000 pounds of virgin plastic from their operations. That’s equivalent to the weight of half of a fully loaded pickup truck, diverted from the plastic waste stream!
Additionally, by contributing to the circular plastics economy, your company helps close the loop on plastic waste. The rPET tape is made from recycled materials and, once used, it doesn’t obstruct the recycling process of corrugated cartons—keeping your sustainability efforts intact through the end of life.
ShurTAPE’s rPET Cost & Efficiency Gains
Here’s where it gets exciting for your bottom line. The rPET tape is designed for maximum efficiency on the production floor:
- Longer rolls: Shurtape’s rPET tapes offer longer roll lengths compared to traditional tapes. This translates into fewer roll changes, reducing downtime and boosting the speed of your packaging lines. With fewer interruptions, your team can focus on high-volume output, driving productivity gains.
- Superior strength: The rPET series doesn’t compromise on performance. It features the highest holding power to fiberboard in the industry, ensuring your cartons remain securely sealed through handling and transit. This minimizes rework before palletizing, the risk of product damage and returns, protecting your profits.
- Reduced waste: The thinner, stronger film of the rPET tape reduces material consumption, which means less tape goes to waste. In fact, by using the rPET tape in combination with ShurSEAL®, manufacturers can achieve an 8% reduction in wasted tape. This translates into lower material costs and less environmental impact from discarded tape.
