The compostable packaging category recently received a regulatory boost from the EU\u2019s mandate requiring home compostable adhesive labels on fruit and vegetables by February 2028. At the same time, compostable packaging technology is reshaping conversations about regional end-of-life strategy.<\/p>\n

Packaging Insights\u00a0<\/strong>speaks to experts from Tipa, TotalEnergies Corbion, Br\u00fcckner Maschinenbau, and Taghleef Industries, to discuss the latest compostable innovations.<\/p>\n

Compostable and child-resistant<\/h2>\n

According to Gary Tee, Tipa\u2019s VP of global converting, the company recently created a home compostable child-resistant zipper for packaging, developed with its US partner, Presto. Tee says the company delivered its first commercial order earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The zipper is paired with a compostable child-resistant base material, with both components engineered to meet child-resistant performance requirements together. The development opens compostable packaging to nutraceutical, cannabis-adjacent, and pharmaceutical-style packaging categories where child-resistant performance is a regulatory requirement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe material and the zipper have to work together to ensure we meet that child-resistant requirement,\u201d Tee explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also notes that adhesive development has been a parallel workstream for the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften it\u2019s the adhesive that dictates whether it\u2019s home or industrial compostable,\u201d Tee adds. \u201cWe\u2019ve been doing a lot of work looking at different adhesives in the market and optimizing those with our materials to allow us to develop more home compostable structures.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also frames home compostability not as a universal solution but as a meaningful option for specific consumer and market conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also ultimately means if these materials go into an industrial facility, they\u2019ll break down even quicker, which is a bonus,\u201d Tee says.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Tee highlights that Tipa also recently invested in SealPap, a paper-recyclable technology platform he…<\/p>\n
