CONTINUOUS
Sustainable development
At Tape Shapes, we care about the natural environment around us. We understand that if steps aren’t taken to minimize our carbon footprint on Earth, we will soon find ourselves in a place uninhabitable to live.
As of March 2012, we have been recycling our waste previously destined for landfill.
Our recyclable waste include cardboard boxes, waste paper, paper core offcuts and plastic packets received from suppliers.
Saving of energy
Other manufacturers do not have to produce something from raw natural resources. They save on energy consumption by using recycled materials, which keeps costs down.
Saving Landfill Space
Recycling reduces the need for more landfills, which often leak harmful liquid waste into the ground-water supply.
Protects Our Resources and Wildlife
When we recycle, there is a reduced need to destroy habitat for animals. Paper recycling alone saves millions of trees.
Good For the Economy
Purchasing recycled goods creates a greater demand for recycled goods, thus increasing recycling efforts. The manufacturing processes of recycled goods use less water, creates less pollution and use less energy.
Assists the Climate
Recycling reduces greenhouse gases (Carbon dioxide and methane) that trap heat in the atmosphere and warm up our planet.
