ECO+Tape, high quality and low environmental impact
Made with 34% of biaxially oriented polypropylene film produced and regranulated in-house, ECO+tape by Irplast is an adhesive tape that combines functional advantages (strong tack and long-lasting adhesiveness) with a green component: -18% of CO2 in the atmosphere compared to a standard BOPP tape.
It is a solvent-free self-adhesive solution with a thickness of only 28 micron and a sleeve made of recycled cardboard, which can be easily applied to any packaging ensuring a strong hold. Available in a transparent version, it is also printable, with customized texts, colors and graphics.
This development is part of the Florentine company’s sustainability plan which, by involving all company processes, has enabled it to achieve various objectives, such as reducing thicknesses, replacing raw materials of fossil origin with others deriving from chemical recycling or from renewable sources, and introducing wash-off adhesives and special inks. In order to meet its own energy needs, Irplast has also installed modern cogeneration plants.
IRPLAST is one of the world’s largest producers of simultaneously biaxially oriented BOPP film for the production and printing of adhesive tapes, labels (for the food, beverage, dairy, personal & home care markets) and multipack solutions. First in Europe in its sector to have installed a line (LISIM) for simultaneous stretching for the production of BOPP films, today it is the first European company to produce bio-based polypropylene and PCW films on a large scale.
