Guide to Paper Tapes from Quick Pak Inc

Polypropylene tape is often the sticking point for businesses wanting plastic-free packaging. After all, it’s cheap, effective, and familiar. However, kraft paper tape is an excellent alternative now available that is fully recyclable, removing any uncertainty around putting out an entire package, complete with tape, for collection. Plastic tape is non-recyclable and whilst small portions are permitted to pass through a recycling plant, larger quantities can cause considerable sorting difficulties, slowing the operation and making it more expensive to sort and recycle.
