Israel-based company TIPA Compostable Packaging, together with Bio4Pack, its European subsidiary based in Germany, has acquired Dutch recyclable paper-based packaging company SEALPAP.

By combining TIPA’s certified compostable technologies with SEALPAP’s recyclable coated paper solutions, the partnership allows global brands to choose packaging solutions that align with their product needs, environmental goals and meet new EU regulations. TIPA is currently pursuing strategic acquisitions across Europe and North America.

TIPA’s packaging breaks down within months under compost conditions. SEALPAP’s recyclable, sealable coated papers, printed or unprinted, are produced out of virgin and/or recycled FSC mix certified papers and run on most vertical and horizontal packaging machines.

“Our vision has always been to lead the industry toward truly circular packaging,” said Daphna Nissenbaum, co-founder and CEO of TIPA. “Joining forces with SEALPAP allows us to meet customer demand with a broader portfolio while continuing to set the pace on innovation and regulatory alignment.” 

“By joining TIPA, SEALPAP is taking a major step forward in enabling brands to choose truly sustainable paper-based packaging options, whether recyclable or compostable,” said Robert van der Laan, owner of SEALPAP. “Combining our expertise in coated paper technologies with TIPA’s proven leadership in compostability gives our customers a strategic edge — especially in light of the fast-approaching regulatory changes across Europe.”
