What are Bio-Based Adhesive Tapes?

Bio-based products can now increasingly be used in the production of adhesive tapes.

Bio-based products are obtained in whole or in part from materials of organic origin under strict conditions. Many, or ideally all, traditionally synthetic processes are being replaced in production by natural processes such as fermentation or biocatalysis. This enables greater process efficiency to be achieved, leading to a reduction in energy and water consumption and a reduction in toxic waste – an important step toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 12.

As the new materials are derived from renewable resources such as plants, they reduce CO2 emissions and also offer other benefits such as lower toxicity or new product properties (e.g. biodegradable plastics). This is precisely what consumers around the world are now increasingly calling for – especially when sustainable production methods do not compromise the performance of the products.
