Have you ever ripped something such as a folder or a bag? When most people do they reach for the greatest invention in the world, duct tape. For the Eco Friendly connoisseurs there is now a green version of this wonderful device.
The tape is made up of an Oxo-Biodegradable Film that actually 100% degrades back into completely organic material over a period of 15 years. It is also made of cloth that is 38% polyester fibers of recycled materials such as plastic bottles.
Since the "green" version is almost identical to it's "non-green" counter part there is no large difference in quality other than the fact that the "green" tape begins the degrading process after a year from date of application. So for you people who are turning your life "green" or just love duct tape the green option is there for you!
