Use Recyclable packaging materials
BetterSeal Secure non-reinfored tape is made from natural, plant-based, 100% biodegradable materials. Plastic tape is made from petroleum— a non-renewable fossil fuel. The majority of paper tapes are completely biodegradable, recyclable and repulpable. Plastic tape does not biodegrade in nature. |
 |
Reduce material waste
One strip of BetterSeal Secure Tape is all that is needed for a strong, reliable, secure seal. When compared to plastic pressure-sensitive tape, pictured left, many strips are typically applied to seal the carton using a handheld tape gun. |
|
Remove unnecessary packaging
Because BetterSeal Secure Tape forms a strong permanent bond, heavy items can be packed in smaller boxes with less filler material. And because paper tape is tamper-evident, less filler material is needed to protect expensive items and keep would-be thieves out. |
|
Reduce landfill deposits
Compare the estimated 16 to 20 year life expectancy of a Better Pack dispenser with an estimated 3-month life-span of a handheld tape gun, both getting consistent use. Over a period of 16 years, one Better Pack tape dispenser can prevent as many as 64 tape guns being discarded into landfills! |
