Company Background

At the Scotch™ Brand, we believe in resourcefulness and ingenuity. We exist to help people discover the magic of being hands on. But in order to do a job well, you need the right tools. Since the invention of the first transparent tape in 1930, Scotch™ Brand and 3M have offered more than 400 varieties of adhesive tape and countless other products from spray adhesives and super glue to tape dispensers and laminators. For every project there’s an ideal tool. We’d like to help you find it.

Why We Chose GreenCircle

“Industry standards in the ‘package protection’ category heavily rely on single-use plastics like plastic bubble wrap and air pillows. At 3M, applying science to life is a core value, which has driven the Scotch™ Brand’s pursuit of an effective, more sustainable packaging solution. In addition to the demand for protection and performance, our consumers expect honesty in our messaging. It is important to us that our consumers know they can still securely package without compromising on sustainable values. This GreenCircle certification is a crucial step in establishing trust among those who pack, leaving them with the confidence of knowing Scotch™ Cushion Lock™ lives up to its claim – made with 100% recycled paper and easily recycled after use.”
