Bolstering the US compostable packaging market

Alongside the collaboration that expands TIPA's US reach, the company also launched a new compostable film exclusive to North America. CNG will manufacture TIPA's new specialty packaging films for food, consumer, healthcare, and other end use markets.

The developments mark a significant milestone for US businesses seeking sustainable packaging solutions to combat plastic pollution. By facilitating the local production of compostable packaging, the partnership also contributes to reducing the world's carbon footprint by eliminating the traditional need for brands to ship packaging from abroad.

Under the partnership, CNG, one of North America's largest producers of high-performance films, will produce two films from TIPA's proprietary compostable materials: TIPA's newly-launched TIPACLEAR 301 and its TIPACLEAR 319. Both are highly transparent home compostable films for food and consumer goods packaging, available in various thicknesses and applications. The two films are exclusive to North America. With TIPA's solutions in its portfolio, CNG plans to further penetrate the North American market for compostable films.

As brands and manufacturers face increasing demand for innovative sustainable packaging solutions to reduce the world's dependence on traditional plastics, TIPA offers fully compostable substitutes for traditional plastic counterparts, while bearing the same functionalities, such as transparency and durability. At the end of their use, though, when placed in a compost bin, they disintegrate and biodegrade into nutrient-rich soil, within months. TIPA's packaging is also seamlessly compatible with existing machinery throughout the entire supply chain of packaging production. AT
