POLAND-based flexible packaging converter SILBO has teamed up with compostable packaging specialist TIPA on a new sustainable solution.
SILBO produces film-based packaging with compostable water-based inks. The packaging producers will supply flexible packaging for fruits, vegetables, and teabags.
The packaging is described as being resistant to moisture, aromas, and gases while also being suitable for refrigerated storage.
The compostable film-based laminates use water-based adhesives and are also printed with water-based inks, which ensure the end-product is certified compostable.
Chen Katz, chief revenue office of TIPA, said, “TIPA and SILBO share a revolutionary approach to compostable packaging, so it was only natural for us to collaborate. With our combined expertise in compostable films and packaging practices, we are able to bring a very wide range of innovative and highly sophisticated solutions to our clients.”
Marcin Śpiewok, CEO and owner at SILBO, added, “At SILBO, we have been designing packaging for over 20 years. However, a few years ago we decided to make a big change in our product strategy, and we decided to develop our brand based on environmentally friendly packaging.
“We decided that business development can no longer be based only on financial indicators, but must also take into account environmental issues. Looking to the future, we don’t see any other way. We wanted to give everyone a choice and show that we are not forced to only use plastic flexible packaging.”
