TIPA, a global leader in compostable packaging solutions, is set to unveil its expanded portfolio at Packaging Innovations & Empack 2025, taking place in Birmingham on February 12 & 13.
This comes as rising consumer and regulatory demand for alternatives to traditional plastic packaging that can reduce waste and environmental harm. The year 2024 is due to generate a record 220 million tonnes of plastic waste, an uptick of over 7% since 2021. The UK alone generates over 2.3 million tonnes of plastic. Of that total, plastic packaging accounts for approximately 70% of all UK plastic waste.
With a strong commitment to replace conventional plastic packaging at its source, TIPA’s fully compostable innovations offer brands and eco-conscious consumers sustainable alternatives without compromising on performance. The company’s growing offering includes a broad range of applications for food and fashion in diverse formats such as compostable bags, pouches, and trays. This includes a variety of solutions from Bio4Pack, a subsidiary of TIPA, which manufactures innovative compostable packaging solutions, including flexibles, trays and nettings.
Building on its portfolio of over a dozen compostable films and reels, TIPA will highlight materials advancements in high-barrier properties that deliver enhanced protection for products with a high moisture content.
The company will also showcase its solutions that address the growing demand for sustainability in small packaging formats. This includes its fully compostable stick pack and sachets that are suitable for powders, snacks, and other individual packaging applications.
TIPA will also highlight its offerings designed to tackle the complexities of traditional mixed-material packaging, which often complicates proper disposal in the same waste stream. These include compostable closures, zippers and coffee pod lids.
Attendees at Packaging Innovations Birmingham 2025 are invited to visit TIPA at Booth F56 to explore these innovations. Representatives from TIPA will be on hand to discuss how these solutions are designed to meet the functional needs of various industries while staying aligned with circular economy principles.
"At TIPA, we are committed to creating solutions that help brands transition from conventional plastics to fully compostable packaging without compromising quality or functionality," said Gary Tee, VP of Global Converting at TIPA. "As consumer expectations and legislative pressures for eco-friendly solutions continue to grow, brands are increasingly seeking packaging that delivers both exceptional performance and environmental responsibility. We are proud to be at the forefront of proving that sustainable packaging can be versatile, high-performing, and fully equipped to meet the diverse demands of global industries.”
