TIPA, a global compostable packaging solutions provider for food and fashion, has appointed Rodrigo Castaneda as vice president and general manager of North America.

Castaneda will look to drive an increase in its share of the compostable packaging market as demand grows for alternatives to plastic packaging and eco-friendly solutions, the company said in a news release. He has more than 25 years of experience in the food and beverage, home and personal care, pet nutrition and apparel and textile industries.

TIPA said Castaneda brings relationships with global and regional fast-moving consumer goods, consumer packaged goods, retailers and packaging manufacturers.
 
"I am thrilled to join TIPA and lead the company’s North American expansion, enhancing local access to compostable packaging,” Castaneda said in the release. “TIPA’s innovative approach is a foundational component of the growing movement aimed at making compostable packaging as ubiquitous as curbside recycling, fostering a sustainable future for our communities and the planet."
