Multifoil prepares for deforestation-free tape regulations
Multifoil is committed to delivering deforestation-free tape in line with upcoming European rules and regulations. In June 2023, the European Union passed a law to prevent deforestation and forest degradation, targeting products made with natural resources such as wood, rubber, coffee, and palm oil. Although the entry into force of this law may be postponed by a year, it is clear that stricter requirements are coming.
Because European markets import many products directly linked to deforestation on a global scale, these regulations will have a major impact across industries, including the tape market. At Multifoil, we are already preparing to ensure that our customers have access to responsibly produced tape—long before compliance becomes mandatory.

The impact of upcoming deforestation rules on the tape market
The new law will apply to all companies trading with or within the European Union, including non-EU tape manufacturers. Once in force, suppliers will need to demonstrate that their tapes are free from deforestation-linked resources. This means the entire supply chain must become more transparent and verifiable.
Currently, many suppliers are not yet issuing clear declarations. That is why Multifoil is actively sourcing in Europe and discussing future-proof solutions with our partners. For customers, this is the right moment to explore alternatives and switch to tapes that will comply once the regulations take effect.
Preparing today to meet tomorrow’s standards
Instead of waiting until the law is fully enforced, Multifoil has already reviewed its supply chain and started transitioning towards deforestation-free sourcing in Europe. Our goal is to be fully ready by the time the new rules apply.
This preparation involves mapping exactly where raw materials originate, ensuring that local environmental and human rights standards are respected. We are building the systems and documentation needed to provide proof of origin, so that when authorities begin enforcement, our customers are already covered.
