Needless To Say, This Caught My Eye

Tape It, Don’t Trash It: Duct Tape Reuse Challenge

Having in been in the tape business for 25 years, we constantly deal with the conflict between knowing that tape is an invaluable tool and having to admit that the fact that it is not recyclable creates some difficult environmental challenges.

The idea of “reusing” duct tape, as this headline declared, appealed to my senses on for two very different reasons.  Obviously, the introduction of reusable tape would have a profound impact on our business.

Reading on, it quickly became apparent that the ad, run by home improvement chain Lowes,  was about using duct tape to repair broken items so that they could be “recycled”.  It is a pretty liberal use of the term “recycle”,  but repairing things and recycling things are similar.

Lowes is using the contest to promote the sales and use of duct tape and everyone agrees that using it for repairs is one of its primary functions.
