TIPA Sustainable Packaging, a developer and manufacturer of breakthrough bio-based, fully compostable, flexible packaging, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Japan Patent Office have granted patents covering the Company’s biocompostable flexible films, which can support packaging solutions for a wider variety of food and non-food goods.

The US patent is directed to the composition of matter of a biocompostable flexible film showing comparable mechanical and optical properties to those of conventional plastics. The corresponding patent application was previously granted in Europe.

The patent granted in Japan describes the composition of matter of a biocompostable flexible film showing high barrier properties for oxygen. The corresponding patent applications were previously granted in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

“We are very pleased to further expand and fortify our intellectual property coverage with these newly granted patents, extending Tipa’s market exclusivity as the manufacturer of innovative flexible packaging solutions,” said Daphna Nissenbaum, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TIPA. “These additional patents further highlight the novelty of our approach to the compostable flexible packaging market.”

About Tipa-Corp

TIPA is an award-winning innovative packaging solutions provider offering novel flexible packaging that is fully compostable and returns back to nature post-usage, just like an orange peel.

TIPA’s packaging solutions emulate the robust properties of conventional plastic, while allowing complete biodegradability of packages after use. Its solutions include compostable packaging for foods such as: snack food, confectionery, grains, dried foods, vitamins and coffee.
