At TIPA®, we create packaging that behaves just like organic waste, so nature won’t even notice we’re here.
TIPA® was founded in 2010 by Daphna Nissenbaum and Tal Neuman to address the challenge that flexible plastic packaging poses to the world. At TIPA, we think that our packaging should be inspired by nature’s packaging: a protective layer that decomposes back into the soil with no toxic residue, microplastics, or other pollutants.
TIPA®’s vision for flexible packaging is to have the same end-of-life as organic matter while maintaining the qualities of conventional plastics that consumers and brands have come to rely on, like durability, transparency, barrier, sealability, printability, and shelf-life. TIPA®’s packaging solutions seamlessly fit with industrial machinery and manufacturing practices. We believe that with the right technology, compostable packaging can meet the same performance standards as conventional plastic.

Providing Solutions for the Food and Fashion Industries
TIPA® focuses on the food and fashion industries, two segments with a very high volume of flexible packaging.
Food
Over 60% of flexible plastic packaging is consumed by the food industry [1]. In order to provide packaging solutions that will replace conventional flexible plastic packaging, we cover a range of applications in the segment, including dry food, fresh produce, meat, spices, powders, coffee, supplements, bars, and more. Our catalog includes home compostable one-ply films in a variety of thicknesses and industrially compostable multi-ply laminates in a variety of thicknesses with varying barrier capabilities.
