10 Feb 2021 --- Compostable packaging specialist Tipa and Dutch shelf life extension designer PerfoTec are collaborating on a “highly” improved barrier film, which the duo says can reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions while combating the global food waste crisis. The packaging is a product of Tipa’s compostable material, which the company says performs like conventional plastic, but decomposes in compost with no toxic residue, microplastics or other pollutants.
