Small changes can make a big difference

Ecotach is a portfolio of economically recycled tagging fasteners that can help brand owners and retailers to achieve their sustainability goals. Our fasteners have been tested by independent third-party companies to validate our commitment to sustainability.

Recycled (rPP) Fasteners

Available in Standard & Fine Fabric

These fasteners are made using at least 30%  recycled polypropylene (rPP) derived from single-use take-out containers. The environmental benefits created by using these tagging fasteners can be impactful.

Every outer carton of fasteners reduces the landfill load by more than 2.72 lbs (1.236kg) of single-use plastic take-out containers 

Recycled (rPET) Fasteners

Available in Standard System 1000.

These fasteners are made of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and carry a “Recycled” logo molded into the paddle. Recycled (rPET) Fasteners contain at least 90% post consumer waste (PCW) plastic from recycled bottles (rPET).The environmental benefits created by using these fasteners are substantial:

Every roll of 834 fasteners reduces the landfill load by more than 8 plastic bottles*

Every carton, by more than 52 plastic bottles*

Every case, by 528 plastic bottles*

Recycled (rPA) Fasteners

Available in Fine Fabric.

These fasteners are made of recycled polyamide (rPA). The environmental benefit created by using at least 74% “post consumer” waste from recycled carpets is substantial:

Every master carton of fasteners eliminates 60 sq ft (5.5 sq meters) of carpet which is equivalent to half the sq ft of an average size bedroom in the US*
