TIPA Compostable Packaging has announced an expansion of its portfolio to include four new high-barrier film and laminate products.
The new laminates extend TIPA’s mission to offer compostable alternatives ‘without compromising on performance, barrier, or machine compatibility’. Key applications include single-serve and sachet applications, chips and other salty snacks, protein and drink powders, nutraceuticals like vitamins and gummies, and ground coffee and tea.
TIPA added that the new laminates offer ‘breakthrough’ moisture and oxygen barrier properties, allowing a wider variety of foods to use compostable packaging. The new high-barrier 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.
“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,” said Daphna Nissenbaum, co-founder and CEO of TIPA. “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.”
