Appreciate Recycled - But "cloudy"
on February 9, 2026
Posted by: ispalum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, there is nothing wrong with the functionality of this 3M Heavy Duty Recycled Packaging Tape. It seems like strong tape. It is sometimes a challenge to get off the roll, but that happens with many heavy duty tapes. The advertising language for the tape labels the tape as "frosty", and it certainly has that cloudy appearance. I'll trust when 3M indicates that you can put this over a barcode and it will still scan, but I tried the tape on a number of different surfaces and it definitely isn't 'clear' tape. I do appreciate that the tape is made from 100% recycled plastic, which probably accounts for the cloudy look of the tape.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product arrived at an opportune time. I'm in "spring" cleaning mode. I've taped boxes for giveaway, storage, and to be determined. So far, all the boxes have held up to being moved here and there, kept in the car for a few days in extremely cold weather. No seam failures. This was fairly easy to use only a slight learning curve.

Re-positional Strong Tape That's 100 % Recycled
on February 9, 2026
Posted by: Renej

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is great that I can feel better about using a packaging tape because this Scotch brand tape is 100 percent recycled. I also like how well it sticks to cardboard without lifting off. Plus its re-positional. I did have a hard time starting the roll because it kept tearing. Once I cut the silver starter strip on the tape, it was impossible to tear. The tape is very strong. I am happy 3M gave me a free sample of this product to use and evaluate. I plan on buying more of this Scotch brand packing tape in the future.

Scotch Goes Green
on February 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We send packages frequently, so when 3M offered to send this Scotch Brand Heavy Duty Recycled Packaging Tape with Dispenser in exchange for a review of the product, I couldn't pass it up. I am glad I did not. When you see the word "recycled," you might think it is referring to the plastic dispenser. In this case, however, the standout feature is the tape itself, which is constructed from 100% recycled plastic. The result is a thick and strong tape. Note that it does have a somewhat darker tint than the ordinary packaging variety, but it is transparent enough to allow code scanning. Another plus is the heavy duty adhesive is guaranteed to stick, even on recycled boxes.
At a time when repurposing plastic is more important than ever, you can go green and get a very useful product at the same time. It's a win-win proposition, in my book.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super strong tape made from recycled plastic!
on February 9, 2026
Posted by: GaDawgs Mom
from Lexington, SC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recycled product that is really strong! I received this free sample from 3M, and I love this heavy duty tape. It was easy to start the roll on the dispenser - just grab any of the little sheared ends and pull up to the strip that starts it cleanly. The blade is sharp! The frosted look does allow see through, and it can scan through one layer of tape for shipping. It adhered easily to a large box of snacks for my kids class and made it through transport with no problems. This is a great tape!

Great for sealing packages
on February 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M gave me a free roll of Scotch Heavy Duty Recycled Packaging Tape to evaluate. It’s easy to seal packages with this tape as it rolled out smoothly with the dispenser and adhered to the cardboard packages that I sealed with it. The tape is very strong and durable. I like that it is transparent so it can be rolled over address labels and that it’s made from 100% recycled plastic.

Strong packaging tape from 100% recycled plastic!
on February 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free roll of Scotch Heavy Duty Recycled Packaging tape from 3M to try out and review. I was very impressed with the strength of the tape for sealing boxes to ship. The fact that the tape is made with 100% recycled plastic is a huge plus in my book. The tape is a bit cloudy, but any writing or symbols are still easily readable. I recommend this tape for any packaging or cardboard reinforcement.
