TIPA Corp Ltd. is an Israeli company manufacturing biodegradable plastic packaging. It is based in Hod HaSharon, Israel.[1]
The material used for the packaging is a patent-protected sheet[2][3] combining plant-based and petroleum-based composition which looks and feels like regular plastic but still decomposes[4] under compost conditions.[5]
The percentage of plant-based ingredients is in the range of 20–60%, depending on the type and shape of the packaging.[6]
History
The company was founded by Daphna Nissenbaum and Tal Neuman in 2010.[7]
In 2013, the company raised seed funding of $2.5M.[8] In 2014, Li Ka-shing and his company Horizons Ventures led Round A, raising $10M.[9] In 2017, Gabriela Hearst and her husband John Augustine Hearst led Round B, raising $11M.[10] In 2019, the company raised an additional $25M.[11]
In 2019, the company was selected as a Technology Pioneer by World Economic Forum.[12]
In 2020, the company was listed second on Forward Fooding's Food Tech 500 list.[1] By 2020, the company's packages were used in supermarkets Ocado, Waitrose,[13] Google Express[6] and by fashion brands: Stella McCartney,[14] Santini[15] and Scotch & Soda[16].
A 2021 study by the Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center, showed that compostable packages made by TIPA extended the life of red bell peppers by 2 weeks.[17] Another research by the same authors showed similar results in cucumbers.[18]
In 2021, the company raised an additional $10M[19] and in 2022 another $70M.[20][21]
