Sustainability at the Forefront

While BOPP packaging tapes remain a staple in the industry, the global ban on single-use plastics is pushing manufacturers to rethink their strategies. Companies are innovating by introducing recyclable and bio-based options to align with sustainability goals.

In August 2025, Tesla unveiled its 60412 Recycled PET packaging tape, designed as a sustainable alternative to traditional BOPP or PVC tapes. Capable of holding up to 30kg, it works seamlessly with both manual and automatic dispensers. Similarly, Ajit Industries Private Limited in India has pioneered recyclable BOPP tapes, reinforcing its commitment to eco-friendly packaging solutions.

In Europe, Monta Klebebandwerk GmbH launched the Monta reTec 831 in 2024, a self-adhesive tape produced from post-industrial recycled polypropylene (rPP), further showcasing how innovation is reshaping the packaging industry.

Tesa SE, another leader in the segment, introduced tesa® 60412, made of recycled PET, in September 2025. With its ability to support up to 30kg packages, it offers industries a strong alternative to conventional BOPP tapes while lowering environmental impact.

Regional Outlook

Europe is set to remain a leading market, capturing 28.8% of the global share in 2025, supported by robust demand from consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and electronics sectors.
