In an era where e-commerce shipping volumes are rapidly increasing, consumers are more aware than ever of their environmental impact. At IPG, we believe that the next logical step in packaging is the transition to curbside-friendly products that promote a circular economy.
Reducing the carbon footprint of tape isn't just a trend for us; it’s a commitment to our "Safe and Circular" vision, ensuring our products perform under pressure while supporting a healthy planet.
Traditionally, packaging relied on materials that ended up in landfills. To lower our impact and eliminate the concept of waste, we have focused our design and development on several core pillars:
Material Health & Safer Chemistry: Part of our vision includes identifying, reducing, and replacing substances of concern through rigorous material health assessments across new and existing product lines.
Circular Economy Integration: We emulate natural lifecycles so that components can return to industry or nature, effectively "feeding" other systems rather than becoming waste.
Recyclability: Our goal is to create products that are curbside recyclable, offering consumers peace of mind during the disposal process.
While many talk about sustainability, Curby™ delivers it. Exclusive to IPG, the Curby line is engineered to answer the challenges of modern e-commerce growth. Curby water-activated tape (WAT) is designed to be as tough on security as it is gentle on the earth. By combining natural materials with a high-strength internal structure, we ensure your packages stay sealed from the warehouse to the doorstep:
Natural Kraft Construction: We utilize natural kraft paper, which is renewably sourced and designed for curbside recyclability.
Hybrid Reinforcement: To ensure maximum durability, the tape features a 3-way reinforcement system: fiberglass in the machine direction and polyester in the cross direction.
Economy Grade Efficiency: This light-duty, economy-grade tape allows for a sturdy, tamper-evident seal with just a single strip, helping to reduce overall material waste.
Switching to a sustainable adhesive might seem like a small step, but when scaled across global supply chains, the impact is significant. By choosing Curby™ Brand products, you are opting for packaging that is renewably sourced, securely shipped, and curbside recyclable. Whether you are a small business owner or a high-volume e-commerce shipper, we invite you to join us in our journey toward a sustainable future. Together, we can protect your products and the planet simultaneously—allowing you to truly pack Like a pro!
