Eco Friendly Low VOC Automotive Wiring Harness Tape Market Trends

The advancements in materials science and manufacturing have led to the creation of high-performance, eco-friendly tapes for automotive wiring harnesses. These new tapes are changing the industry by offering sustainable options that perform just as well as traditional PVC-based tapes. One major innovation is the use of bio-based polymers made from renewable resources such as corn starch, soy, and sugarcane. These materials provide a green alternative to PVC, which is made from non-renewable petrochemicals and emits high levels of VOCs.

Tape manufacturers are launching innovative ecofriendly tapes for various industries. For instance, in April 2023, IRPLAST introduced the IRPLAST Natural Oriented Polypropylene (NOPP) TAPE. The new adhesive tape is both high-performing and eco-friendly, made with 50% recycled materials. The tape, with a thickness of 32 µm, offers strong adhesion and works exceptionally well on high-speed machines. It also helps reduce environmental impact.

Companies are increasingly adopting these eco-friendly tapes to meet regulatory requirements and consumer demand for sustainable products. The shift towards bio-based polymers reduces the environmental impact and aligns with global trends in green manufacturing. As the eco-friendly low VOC automotive wiring harness tape market for eco-friendly automotive components grows, the demand for high-performance, sustainable wiring harness tapes is expected to rise significantly during the forecast period.

Eco-friendly tapes made from bio-based materials significantly reduce the environmental impact of automotive components compared to traditional PVC tapes. However, these tapes often struggle with thermal stability and durability in extreme conditions, especially in high-performance vehicles or harsh climates. Bio-based materials including polylactic acid (PLA), natural fibers, and other biodegradable polymers decompose more easily in the environment. While this is beneficial for sustainability, it can be problematic for automotive applications requiring long-term resistance to high heat and temperature fluctuations.
