It also provides durability for both indoor and outdoor use. For example, in March 2023, Jessup Manufacturing Company, a U.S.-based producer of sports grip tapes and adhesive-coated films, launched ReCon, an innovative anti-slip tape. This product stands out as the first to incorporate Nike Grind's post-industrial recycled rubber from footwear manufacturing, offering enhanced slip resistance, durability, and sustainability while meeting key safety standards. ReCon is suitable for various industries, including commercial kitchens, healthcare, and schools.
