Partnership of Coveris and TIPA for eco-friendly labels on fresh produce using home compostable materials
In the realm of packaging sustainability, TIPA has been making waves with its innovative solutions. Earlier this month, TIPA's European subsidiary Bio4Pack launched its 'certified home compostable' label, marking a significant step towards eco-friendly packaging.
One of the key collaborations in this area is between TIPA and Coveris. Following extensive testing, Coveris selected TIPA's home-compostable label material for its superior performance and wide applicability. This partnership combines TIPA's compostable labels with Coveris' production capabilities and market knowledge, validating their applicability for a wide range of fruits and vegetables.
In the United Kingdom, Berry Superfos has signed an exclusive agreement with TIPA compostable Packaging for the production and marketing of compostable labels for fresh fruit and vegetables. This collaboration aims to deliver a scalable, sustainable solution for retailers, packers, and growers seeking to meet both consumer demand and regulatory requirements.
The labels, designed to securely adhere to produce with wet or varied surfaces, offer moisture resistance while remaining flexible. Their durability ensures consistent application across items such as apples, citrus fruits, kiwis, and avocados without compromising compostability. The colours on the stickers correspond with the fruit or vegetable's ripening process, providing visual indicators of the product's freshness.
As we look ahead, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation is expected to be updated in 2025, with details about global packaging sustainability regulation also included. This update is significant for brands seeking to improve their packaging sustainability.
In addition to these collaborations, strategies to increase the use of reusable packaging in supermarkets are also being explored. The ultimate goal is to create a more sustainable future for packaging, where waste is minimised and resources are used efficiently.
