In an uncertain and changing world, the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council’s (PSTC) Responsible Tape Manufacturer (RTM) program is helping member companies that manufacture pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape products to demonstrate that their products are made in a responsible manner with regard to the environment, people, facilities, and quality systems. Introduced in 2010, the third-party audited system is a PSTC membership requirement. PSTC RTM certification acknowledges and raises the visibility of PSTC member tape companies that invest in being responsible manufacturers.
Designed to be uniquely comprehensive, the program recognizes good manufacturing practices as an integral part of the value that PSTC member tape companies bring to their customers. RTM certification delivers quantifiable differentiation between RTM-certified tape companies and all other tape producers. The program identifies PSTC member tape producers that have sustainable best practices in environmental, manufacturing safety, and health and quality control standards.
