China’s express delivery industry is developing rapidly, but the degradation and nondegradability of packaging tapes have been tremendously controversial and the degradation mechanism is not clear. In this work, the biodegradation behavior/ mechanism and mechanical properties of the polypropylene-based tape (BOPP tape), polypropylene doped with calcium carbonate (BOPP/CaCO3 tape), and Plant-based tape (Plant tape) are discussed. It is found that the degradability ability and breaking strength of Plant tape are better than BOPP and BOPP/CaCO3 tapes. Simultaneously, the possible degradation mechanisms of three tapes under three degradation ways were presented, providing a theoretical basis for developing their potential uses in the green packaging, express, and electronic industries.
