Tipa Compostable Packaging names commercial director for North America

Israel-based Tipa Compostable Packaging has appointed John Wilson as commercial director for North America.

As the latest executive to join the company's growing North American presence, Wilson will head Tipa’s business expansion as demand for more sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions continues to grow, according to a news release.

Wilson’s career spans more than 20 years in consumer packaging, most recently holding leadership positions in Switzerland-based Amcor’s flexible packaging business. His experience includes sustainability, supply chain management, procurement and marketing.

Tipa says Wilson has extensive experience working with brand owners and retailers to reduce plastic waste, achieving packaging sustainability targets and improving overall environmental outcomes. 

“I couldn’t think of a more exciting time to join Tipa as it stands at the forefront of compostable packaging innovation,” Wilson said in the release. “The North American market is increasingly ready for transformation in packaging sustainability, as more consumers, brands and policies demand solutions to curb plastic waste for our planet’s well-being.”
