TIPA adds high-barrier film and laminate products to portfolio
TIPA Compostable Packaging has added four new high-barrier film and laminate products to its portfolio.
The new, compostable laminates offer moisture and oxygen barrier properties to single-serve and sachet applications, chips and other salty snacks, protein and drink powders, nutraceuticals like vitamins and gummies, ground coffee and tea, according to a news release.
The laminates include both paper and transparent print layers. All of TIPA’s films and laminates are designed to be run on conventional packaging machinery and are printable and sealable, according to the company.
“With more than 40% of consumer goods packaged in flexible packaging and less than 1% of these being recycled in the United States, there is a need for more brands to choose sustainable options for their products,” Daphna Nissenbaum, TIPA co-founder and CEO, said in the release. “TIPA’s new high-barrier solutions offer more products the ability to protect goods and maintain shelf life with the same durability and longevity achieved by conventional plastic, breaking the glass ceiling for compostable packaging solutions and allowing more brands to join the movement.”
TIPA has manufacturing facilities in Europe, North America and Australia. In September, the company teamed with European subsidiary Bio4Pack to launch a certified home compostable label for fresh produce.
“Consumers enjoy the convenience of single-serve packets of everything from powdered drink mixes to their daily vitamins. Now that convenience does not have to create more waste and brands can continue to deliver the products their customers want while contributing to a sustainable future,” Nissenbaum said.
