Tipa launches four high-barrier laminates for flexible packaging

Tipa Compostable Packaging, a supplier of compostable flexible packaging materials, has expanded its portfolio to include four new high-barrier film and laminate products. With continued growth in demand for sustainable flexible packaging, these 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, ground coffee and tea, and more.
 
Tipa’s new laminates offer breakthrough moisture and oxygen barrier properties, allowing a wider variety of foods to use compostable packaging with no compromise on shelf life. The new high-barrier laminates include both paper and transparent print layers, giving brands a variety of options to meet the functional and aesthetic needs of their products. 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 percent of consumer goods packaged in flexible packaging and less than 1 percent of these being recycled in the United States, there is a need for more brands to choose sustainable options for their products. 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,' said Daphna Nissenbaum, co-founder and CEO of Tipa.
 
Tipa continues to advance the flexible packaging industry with compostable materials that perform at the same level as conventional packaging and eliminate the lasting impact of conventional plastics. Compostable alternatives to non-recyclable materials help address the plastic pollution problem from the design phase, improving circularity for flexible and multi-layered packaging.
 
'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,' said Nissenbaum.
 
Tipa’s existing portfolio includes a range of high-quality compostable packaging, including films, laminates and applications designed for a wide variety of uses. With manufacturing in Europe, North America and Australia, Tipa ensures proximity, reliability and sustainability for businesses.
