To offer our customers an additional choice, we have now launched a new product, the tesa® 60408 Bio-based paper packaging tape. Thanks to the smart choice of raw materials, the total bio-based carbon content of this product was measured to be 92% according to DIN CERTCO, making this product the most sustainable paper packaging tape in our assortment.
The paper we use comes from well-managed forests and other controlled sources and we also tested our tape according to INGEDE method 12, making it a recycling-friendly solution. After use, the product can be disposed in the paper waste along with the cardboard without compromising the recycling process.
With technical innovations such as the tesa® 60408 Bio-based paper packaging tape, we enable our customers to achieve their sustainability goals. At the same time, the launch of the new tape is in line with our own strategy of enlarging our product offer for more sustainable packaging tapes. We aim to make sustainability a priority at tesa and get to work with this crucial transformation of our business significantly faster and more urgently than previously envisaged. Our challenge is to rapidly reduce emissions, to improve the sustainability of our products and packaging and to ensure responsible procurement.
