Tipa has announced the launching a 100% biodegradable, multi-layered film, which will produce liquid-carrying pouches.
Israel-based company, which devotes itself to the development of green packaging, said the company's patent-pending polymer-based films can be formed with Form Fill Seal (FFS) machines into liquid-carrying pouches that are 100% biodegradable within three months of composting.
Tipa co-founder Daphna Nissenbaum was quoted by printweek.com as telling the website Israel21c was a watershed moment in creating a flexible film for food packaging.
"There are biodegradable films out there but they can't be used for food packaging. We created the first- and second-generation packaging from new and different green materials that can be used for all kinds of food packaging," said Nissenbaum.
