3M is introducing Scotch Greener Masking Tapes which are designed to provide the same great performance as other Scotch Masking Tapes, while creating less waste and conserving paper resources.
The new tapes are made with 56% renewable resources, including paper backing made with 30% post consumer recycled content and adhesive made with natural, regenerating latex harvested from rubber trees. They are manufactured using solvent-free and water-based processes and their cores contain 87% post-consumer recycled fibre, with shipping cartons made from 100% recycled fibre.
3M’s key nonwoven technologies, based on decorative ribbons and tapes, abrasive pads and meltblown webs – all developed over half a century ago – still form the basis of products worth an annual $4 billion to the company in sales today.
