Avery Dennison's EcoFriendly Initiative

How can adhesive tape and the companies who
produce and sell adhesive tape help the world go “green”?


"Avery Dennison Specialty Tape Division is doing this in several ways including lowering our carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in our production process and creating tapes that do not contain specific hazardous chemicals. Examples of these types of tapes include our FT 1147, FT 1149, FT 8260, FT 9361 and FT 7951. In even smaller ways, not directly tied to tape manufacturing, is our Avery Dennison EcoFriendly initiative to utilize recycled wood or fiber in our print materials."

"These are only a few ways Avery Dennison Specialty Tape Division is working to help the world go "green". For your further review I have included the key steps Avery Dennison is taking from a corporate level to make the world a "greener" place for all of us.

• Activate more energy efficiency initiatives to lower our carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
• Manage waste reduction through regional assessments and identification of solutions
• Achieve responsible paper sourcing through supply chain collaboration, engagement with responsible
forestry organizations and third-party chain of custody certification of operations
• Develop and offer innovative eco-friendly products
• Promote fair labor and safe factory operations by implementing global labor standards
• Meet community needs as a socially responsible company"
