Biodegradable Tape is one of the conveniences of modern life. From duct tape to masking tape, the many different types make our lives easier.

But we must consider its potential environmental effects on our planet. Most types of tape (including adhesive, masking, and duct tape) are not biodegradable, meaning they can persist in the environment for millennia.

By the time they finally break down, they continue to linger on as microplastics, posing a health threat to both animals and humans.
