Calculate Your Plastic Waste Savings
Businesses can estimate plastic waste reduction by switching to paper tape. Here’s a simple calculation concept:
Step 1: Determine your current tape usage.
- Example: 500 rolls of plastic tape per year
Step 2: Check the weight of each roll.
- Example: 0.5 kg per roll
Step 3: Multiply rolls × weight.
- 500 rolls × 0.5 kg = 250 kg of plastic waste annually
Step 4: Switching to paper tape.
- Paper tape is fully recyclable, so 250 kg of plastic is avoided entirely.
Step 5: Optional – calculate CO₂ savings.
- Reducing plastic production saves energy and reduces carbon footprint.

| Annual Tape Usage (Rolls) | Weight per Roll (kg) | Plastic Waste Saved (kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
