TIPA and G. Mondini are to partner to produce home compostable wet food container, as a solution for hard-to-recycle packaging.
The partnership will see G. Mondini offer paper-based, fully compostable Paperseal packaging solutions optimized for wet, chilled, frozen and fresh food products.
The TIPA film will then act as a liner to create a barrier against oxygen, moisture and humidity.
These compostable films and paper solutions carry food waste to compost in line with Italy`s EU-leading regulatory regime, which sees compostable plastics collected with organic waste.
The new packaging solution lined with TIPA films can be placed together into organic waste, keeping plastic out of landfills and the environment.
Chen Katz, chief revenue officer at TIPA, said: [In our joint breakthrough innovation, we are creating packaging applications that can address some of the industry`s most pressing needs: sustainably packaging wet, chilled and frozen foods. We will be working closely with G. Mondini to deliver on this unique design that drives the compostable movement forwards."
Paolo Mondini, general manager, G. Mondini, said: [Member states across the EU are leading the way with sustainable practices and together with TIPA, a leader in certified compostable films, we are developing innovations which will drive a future-proofed level of sustainable packaging products."
