Writing this post didn’t require leaving home, and starting your own garden doesn’t either! Abundance exists everywhere and anytime, even in these strange days.

Daphna Nissenbaum, CEO and co-founder TIPA® Compostable Packaging, Sian Sutherland, co-founder of A Plastic Planet, and David Newman, Managing Director of BBIA (Bio-based and biodegradable Industries Association) sit down with John Higginson to talk about what leaders and activists can learn about taking care of the environment from world reactions to COVID-19.

As with any challenge, our TIPA® team is using this time to reflect and look toward the future. Our journey towards sustainable packaging began by returning to natural, organic processes like composting. We know that when we go back to basics, we can go back to a healthy Earth.

Go back to basics with step by step instructions on how to start your own home compost!

Composting is one of the world’s most natural recycling systems, and a great way to help turn your food scraps, compostable packaging, paper, or any organic material into nutrient-rich soil.

Thanksgiving is an amazing opportunity to thank the Earth for what we’re given, and it’s also an amazing opportunity to return the favour. Happy Holidays from TIPA®.

Our planet needs change, and corporations are committing themselves to new standards. Plastic should never become waste or pollution; that’s why TIPA is pleased to be a signatory to the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment.

TIPA® is proud to announce that the company has joined the New Plastics Economy’s Global Plastics Commitment, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in collaboration with UN Environment, to address plastic waste and pollution at its source.

We live in a world of fast fashion. With fashion brands perpetually churning out cheap and up-to-the-minute designs, it doesn’t cost much to keep up with the latest trends and indulge in some feel-good retail therapy.
But the real cost of fast fashion is the heavy toll that it’s taking on our planet. Fortunately, consumers – especially the younger generations – are starting to wake up and demand more sustainable fashion practices. And fashion brands are taking note.

Coming so soon after French president Emmanuel Macron debuted his new Fashion Pact – a set of shared objectives the fashion industry can work toward to reduce its environmental impact – Première Vision Paris is well timed to share the importance of sustainable fashion with the global industry. Look for TIPA in Smart Creation, a collection of brands answering the industry’s need for sustainable solutions on a global scale.

TIPA®, a leading developer and provider of fully compostable flexible packaging solutions, has secured $25M in its recent financing round. Investors who participated in this financing round include Blue Horizon Ventures, Triodos Organic Growth Fund and existing investors Chestnut Holding LLC and GreenSoil Investments.
