Since April 2022, any plastic packaging that does not contain at least 30% recycled content is charged a ‘green tax’ of £217.85 per tonne. Whether it’s paid directly as an importer or manufacturer, the end user will carry an increased purchase price. iTack helps you to avoid this additional costs.

Using iTack® in your warehouse makes a big contribution to lowering your carbon footprint and your environmental impact. The rapid growth if ecommerce has resulted in an increase in the number of parcels shipped and consequently the sharp rise in the use of parcel tape for sealing all those packages. With over 14 million parcels shipped in the UK every day, there is a huge requirement for parcel tape and an urgent need to make this product eco-friendlier. That’s where iTack® steps in. A sustainable product made from existing resources that reduces reliance on manufacturing new materials, conserving more natural resources.

The production of recycled tape also uses less energy compared to non-recycled tape, which helps to further reduce greenhouse emissions.

A simple and cost-effective way to include your brand is on the packaging tape you use rather than the boxes. Not only does this reduce your costs, it provides flexibility in changing any supporting messages you may wish to include. If you think about your end user, they won’t be aware that the parcel they have received has been sealed using recycled tape so this is a great opportunity to include this message too, highlighting your environmental commitment.
