Environmental Impact Score: 6.5 / 10

Sustainability Rating: Good

Category Scores

• Material choice — 1.5 / 2
A kraft paper backing is a lower-impact alternative to plastic packing tape, though the adhesive type is not specified by the supplier.

• Reusability — 0.5 / 2
Packing tape is single-use by design.

• Durability / lifespan — 1.2 / 1.5
Made to hold boxes closed when shipping, moving or storing, which is all a single-use tape needs to do.

• Recyclability — 0.6 / 1
The kraft paper backing can generally go into paper and cardboard recycling with the box, though the adhesive type is not specified by the supplier.

• Biodegradability / compostability — 0.6 / 1
Paper breaks down under suitable conditions, but the adhesive type is not specified, so we can't say the whole tape will.

• Renewable / recycled / lower-impact material — 0.7 / 1
Paper comes from a renewable resource, though recycled content, forestry certification and the adhesive's source are not specified.

• Replaces a wasteful product — 1 / 1
Directly replaces plastic packing tape, a single-use plastic product.

• End-of-life disposal — 0.4 / 0.5
It can generally stay on the box for recycling, but check your council's rules, as the adhesive type is not specified.

Overall Assessment

A paper-backed packing tape that replaces single-use plastic tape and can generally go into recycling with the box. It is still a single-use product, and we've scored it conservatively because the supplier doesn't specify the adhesive.
