Home Compostable Label Partnership for Fresh Produce: Coveris Teams Up with TIPA

In a significant move towards sustainable packaging solutions, TIPA and Coveris have teamed up to produce and market compostable labels for fresh produce. This collaboration aims to deliver a scalable, sustainable solution for retailers, packers, and growers seeking to meet both consumer demand and regulatory requirements.

TIPA's new film offers a unique advantage, providing moisture resistance while remaining flexible. This makes it ideal for stickers that securely adhere to produce with wet or varied surfaces, such as fruits and vegetables. The durability of the labels ensures consistent application across items like apples, citrus fruits, kiwis, and avocados, without compromising compostability.

The partnership combines TIPA's home compostable labels with Coveris' production capabilities and market knowledge. The labels are compatible with conventional label printing presses, suitable for machine and hand application techniques, and are certified as food-safe for direct food application.

The use of reusable packaging in supermarkets is a key aspect of sustainable packaging solutions. This collaboration is part of a broader trend, with top brands increasingly focusing on packaging sustainability. The progress of these brands is a reflection of industry trends and a topic of interest.

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation in 2025 is a significant regulatory issue. Global packaging sustainability regulation in 2025 sets standards for the industry. These topics provide insights into the current state and future of packaging sustainability.

Interestingly, the colors on the sticker correspond with the fruit or vegetable's ripening process. For example, the sticker for bananas displays a color gradient from green to black, with each color matched to foods like ice cream, tempura, and cupcakes.

In a separate development, HERMA has collaborated in producing and marketing compostable labels for fresh fruit and vegetables in the UK market. These labels use biologically degradable adhesive materials certified according to EN 13432 and NF T51-800 standards, indicated by the Keimling logo.

The key aspects of increasing the use of reusable packaging in supermarkets are being discussed. The aforementioned topics may appeal to those interested in packaging sustainability. The progress made by TIPA, Coveris, and other top brands in this field is a testament to the strides being made towards a more sustainable future for packaging.
