Water Activated Tape (Reinforced) 70mm x 184m - 100% Recyclable
REINFORCED WATER ACTIVATED TAPE (WAT) IS AN EXTRA STRONG ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO PLASTIC PACKAGING TAPE.
The unique materials consist of a combination of natural kraft papers, starch-based adhesives (eco-glue) and cross woven filaments to create a secure, extra strong, eco-friendly seal. It can be applied by running a wet cloth or sponge over the tape or by using a handy Water Activated Tape Dispenser. Moisture activates the adhesive to penetrate the fibres of the carton/cardboard and secures the package. It's effective, easy to use, and most importantly, offers the same security and strength as plastic packaging tape. It also doesn't need to be removed from the cardboard or carton when recycling. The paper that makes up the vast majority of this tape is recyclable and the small amount of strength filament gets filtered out during the recycling process. Water Activated Tape is the leading eco-friendly alternative to plastic tape and is used by some of Australia’s growing eco retailers including Little Wildling Co, Poppy and Daisy, Shy Tiger, and Be Kind Co.

How do I recycle the Kraft Water Activated Tape?
Signet's Kraft Water Activated Tape eliminates the most frustrating manual separation required when recycling packaging. Typically, plastic tapes would have to be removed from carboard for recycling which takes time and effort. Our Water Activated Paper Tape can be put in any kerbside recycling bin.
How is the Kraft Water Activated Tape biodegradable?
Signet's Kraft Water Activated Tape will break down into the elements found in nature when given enough time and exposure to light, air, and moisture. This won’t mean it will start to deteriorate before reaching your customers as it has a long shelf life, and will only start to break down when exposed to the elements for a significant time period.
