Water-activated vs kraft paper tape: Which eco packing tape should you use?
Is water-activated tape recyclable?
Yes. Water-activated tape is made from kraft paper with a starch adhesive, so it can be recycled along with the cardboard carton in standard paper recycling.
What is the difference between water-activated tape and kraft paper tape?
Water-activated tape uses a starch adhesive that needs water and a dispenser to apply, while kraft paper tape is self-adhesive and applies by hand. Both are paper-based and recyclable.
Do I need special equipment for paper packing tape?
Self-adhesive kraft paper tape needs no equipment and applies by hand. Water-activated tape requires a gummed-tape dispenser or a sponge to activate the adhesive.
Is paper packing tape strong enough for heavy boxes?
Yes. Water-activated tape bonds to the carton fibres for a strong seal on heavy or valuable cartons, while self-adhesive kraft tape handles everyday light to medium boxes reliably.
What is the difference between recyclable and compostable packing tape?
Recyclable tape goes back into the paper recycling stream with the carton. Compostable tape breaks down in composting conditions and should carry a recognised standard such as AS 4736.
