TIPA compostable packaging expands into the Italian market

TIPA^®, a world-leading Israeli company operating in the compostable packaging sector, is expanding into the Italian market with the hire of a new sales director.

Annalisa Nissola joins the team with more than 10 years of experience in flexible food packaging and sustainable development. Ms Nissola will lead TIPA’s expansion into Italy, generating partnerships with players across the entire packaging supply chain transitioning to compostable packaging.

Italy’s compostable materials market has boomed in recent years, driven by strong consumer demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics and the presence of an extensive network of composting infrastructure.

Assobioplastiche found the amount of compostable packaging produced in Italy grew by more than 150% in just seven years, rising from 39,250 tons in 2012 to 101,000 tons in 2019, and demand continues.

TIPA’s available packaging solutions offer high-performance compostable films and laminates that perform like conventional plastic but can be disposed of using Italy’s existing composting infrastructure and decompose back into the soil just like organic waste.

TIPA’s packaging is a ‘plug and play’ solution adapted for industry machinery and manufacturing practices and offers a solution that is fitted to existing packaging supply chains.
