If you are a cabinetmaker in Australia, you probably have a lot of edge tape lying around in your factory. But what do you do with the edge tape that you don’t need anymore? Maybe you bought too much of it, or maybe you changed your design and colour scheme. Maybe you have some left over from previous projects. Whatever the reason, you probably have a lot of edge tape that is just taking up space in your factory and collecting dust.
You might think that storing edge tape is not a big deal, but it actually has some negative consequences for your business and the environment. Here are some of them:
- Edge tape costs money to store. You need to allocate space in your factory for edge tape storage, which means less space for other things. You also need to maintain the storage conditions to prevent damage from moisture, heat, or pests. And you need to pay for insurance and security to protect your inventory from theft or fire.
- Edge tape loses value over time. Edge tape is a fashion item, which means that it goes out of style quickly. The colours and patterns that were popular a few years ago might not be in demand anymore. The quality and durability of edge tape also deteriorates over time, especially if it is exposed to sunlight or humidity. And the technology and colours of edge tape production change constantly, making older edge tape obsolete or incompatible with newer boards and panels.
- Edge tape harms the environment. Edge tape is made from plastic (such as PVC, ABS, or acrylic), which is a non-renewable resource that requires a lot of energy and water to produce. Plastic also takes a long time to decompose, and can release harmful chemicals into the soil and water. Most edge tape ends up in landfill, where it contributes to the global problem of plastic pollution. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australia generates about 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste per year, and only 9% of it is recycled.
So what can you do with your unused edge tape? You could throw it away, but that would be a waste of money and resources. You could donate it to someone else, but that would be hard to find a suitable recipient. You could try to sell it on other online marketplaces, but that would be time-consuming and risky.
Or you could sell it on RejigBits.
