Is washi Tape always made of paper? & does it recycle?

[KatyMac]

Umm that's it really - I want something quite eco/sustainable

Do we make it in the UK?

All the washi tape I've used has been paper, never had to recycle it as normally it's used in my bullet journal as decoration.

As for if we make it in the uk, I'm not sure, but you can get some on amazon prime that's despatched from the uk. Most of it seems to come from Japan.

I doubt it’s recyclable because of the adhesive. You can make your own using DST and tissue paper or old dress patterns if you wanted to reuse materials like these

What is dst?

I had a felling it might not be recyclable

Double sided tape

Its biodegradable so can be stuck in compost or bin and will degrade. I read in a huffpost article it is made from a Japanese shrub so not trees which makes it sustainable.

Thanks - still working on my idea
