APAC | TIPA, a global leader in packaging innovation, has launched an advanced home compostable metallised high-barrier film.
The solution has aimed to address critical challenges in eco-conscious packaging for chips and salty snacks, offering enhanced functionality and durability in a biodegradable solution.
This launch coincided with a growing demand for sustainable snack packaging, as the global market will grow at a rate higher than five percent in the next five years.
The 312MET Premium film is a lightweight, ultra-thin metallised solution designed for high barrier protection against salt, oil, and moisture.
These have been common challenges for snack packaging. The barrier’s properties have eliminated the need for an additional sealing layer, making it highly efficient for converting and versatile for various applications.
This film is available globally for purchase in reels, and when paired with cellulose or paper layers, it makes one of the market’s thinnest two-ply home compostable solutions for chips and snacks.
Suitable for packaging chips, snacks, granola bars, grains, coffee, and tea, the film has offered exceptional freshness and extended shelf life while maintaining an eco-friendly end-of-life.
“Packaging chips in compostable materials has long been a formidable challenge due to their corrosive properties,” said Rodrigo Castaneda, VP/GM TIPA North America.
“With our high-barrier film, we’re taking a step forward in reducing plastic waste while ensuring snack brands and consumers have a viable, thin, high-performance, sustainable alternative.”
With chips packaging making up a significant portion of non-recycled waste, TIPA’s solution will pave the way for brands to shift toward a truly circular and environmentally responsible packaging option.
