Good news has arrived. The MAX Company has created a Paper Tape for use in the MAX Tapeners that will meet the need for Biodegradable Tape for appropriate strength applications. Early tests show the paper tape holding 6 to 8 months in a moist, overhead misted greenhouse environment. When the paper tape is buried in the greenhouse soil, it decomposes and disappears in 3-5 months
