Castaneda will lead TIPA's drive to increase its share in the compostable packaging market as demand grows for eco-friendly solutions as an alternative to conventional flexible plastic packaging.
The Cradle to Cradle Certified standard stands as the premier multi-attribute guideline adopted worldwide by designers, brands, and manufacturers spanning various industries.
This lid has been made possible with the use of TIPA’s laminate that has a zero-waste end of life. When disposed of in a compost bin, the lid – and the pod – turn into nutrient-rich soil within a few months.
The launch marks the latest addition to TIPA’s exclusive portfolio of packaging solutions for local production in North America, which recently saw the addition of the company’s 301 and 319 high transparent compostable films.
This partnership cuts plastic content and supports organic waste recycling and composting infrastructure, meeting market requirements and supporting sustainability initiatives in the EU.
This positions R&R Smith as Australia’s first organic company to use fully home compostable packaging and marks another step in the company’s active efforts to reduce waste in its supply chain.
