Sustainability in packaging is becoming a top priority for Australian businesses. Traditional plastic tapes contribute to landfill waste and environmental harm, but biodegradable and recycled tapes offer a smart, eco-friendly alternative. These tapes maintain durability while helping companies meet sustainability goals.
This guide explores the benefits, types, and applications of eco-friendly tapes for businesses of all sizes.
