The wrapper that holds many natural and organic products may be transparent but actually has a huge transparency problem. Food and beverage packaging is currently accounting for more than half of the world’s non-recyclable flexible plastic, but a new technology developed by Tipa Corp. may turn the tide. The fundamental flaw of current flexible packaging is that it’s made up of several materials, and not pure polymers. It’s the blended materials in flexible packaging that make recycling a long-term challenge, along with the lack of awareness among consumers of which plastics can actually be recycled. It’s this tipping point for plastics that motivated Israeli-based company, Tipa Corp., to develop and manufacture a breakthrough certified-compostable flexible film. It’s the first flexible film of its kind that can be easily incorporated into a large variety of design structures ranging from basic “poly” and zipper bags to sophisticated, multi-layered structures, which require moisture barrier, printing and other essential properties. The team behind Tipa’s technology is an impressive brain trust of professionals including researchers, food engineers, industrial, chemical and bioplastic experts, including Daphna Nissenbaum, CEO and co-founder of TIPA.
