Philmo Inc. has made duct tapes from an oxo-biodegradable film that actually degrades 100% back into organic material within approximately fifteen years from completed life cycle. This tape is also made with cloth that possesses 38% polyester fibers made from recycled material, such as discarded plastic bottles. The total core the tape is wound on is made from 100% recycled paper, ensuring no trees are destroyed in order to produce this product. It has the same appearance, construction and durability of the non “green” products and will not begin to degrade until the one year from application.
