The company, which is considered a global leader in compostable packaging solutions, has created a plastic-free, compostable and recyclable packaging tray. Tipa have manufactured this tray line from natural rice waste, such as rice by-products, and this material is called paddy straw. Normally, the ingredients for paddy straw are disposed of and during this process they are burned, which is a large contribution to air pollution. Instead of causing this harm to the environment, Tipa chose to take this bio-waste material and repurpose it into packaging that has many benefits.
