TIPA, a global leader in compostable packaging solutions, and Fresh-Lock® closures, a leading brand in reclosable flexible packaging technology, are collaborating to advance the adoption of home compostable packaging. Through these united efforts, the Fresh-Lock team is launching a new portfolio of home compostable closures for pouches. These new reclosable solutions for flexible packaging are designed with TIPA's proprietary home compostable resin formulation for various end-use markets including food, nutraceuticals, home and personal care and more. 

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for consumers and businesses seeking sustainable packaging solutions to combat plastic pollution. Flexible packaging is well known for its sustainability benefits compared to other packaging forms but recycling can be challenging as traditional plastic films are not currently supported in most curbside recycling programs and store drop-off programs can be limiting. Industrial composting infrastructure is even more scarce. This new home compostable technology offers all the benefits of flexible packaging with easy access to closing the gap in circularity.
