Treetop Biopak Wins ‘Excellence in Plastic Industry – Compostable Packaging Solution’ at PolyNext Awards 2025

Dubai, UAE – October 2, 2025 – The PolyNext Awards & Conference 2025, organized by Next Business Media, proudly announced Treetop Biopak as the winner of the “Excellence in Plastic Industry – Compostable Packaging Solution” category. The prestigious recognition, presented at the Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, honors organizations leading innovation and sustainability in the global plastics and packaging landscape.

This year’s PolyNext Awards brought together pioneers and changemakers from across the polymer, plastics, and sustainability sectors to recognize those driving the industry’s transition toward circularity, innovation, and environmental responsibility. Among hundreds of global entries, Treetop Biopak stood out for its groundbreaking work in compostable flexible packaging, offering scalable, sustainable alternatives to conventional plastic packaging.

A Step Toward a Circular Future

The plastics industry, worth over $100 billion globally, faces immense challenges in tackling plastic waste, especially in flexible packaging—an area with recycling rates as low as 5%. These materials, often comprising multilayer laminates and contaminated films, remain largely unrecyclable and economically unviable for recovery at scale.

Treetop Biopak, through its Terra Range of certified compostable packaging, is addressing this challenge head-on. The company offers compostable solutions for a wide range of applications—bags, pouches, shrink wraps, stretch films, barrier films, nets, stickers, and adhesive tapes—providing the functionality and protective benefits of plastic without the environmental cost.

“Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to make compostable packaging the new standard in flexible packaging,” said Amir Gross, Founder and CEO of Treetop Biopak. “We believe sustainability shouldn’t compromise performance. Every product we develop must meet the expectations of both businesses and consumers—functionally, aesthetically, and environmentally.”

Innovation Rooted in Responsibility

Treetop Biopak’s approach to packaging is not just about replacing plastic—it’s about redefining packaging itself. By creating materials that are certified compostable and food-contact safe, the company ensures that its products fit seamlessly into existing supply chains while helping industries meet their sustainability targets and reduce carbon footprints.

Their innovations allow global corporations to maintain product shelf life, strength, and brand appeal—critical factors in industries such as food, manufacturing, retail, and e-commerce—while ensuring that every piece of packaging can safely return to the earth at the end of its life.

Amir Gross, a veteran in international trade and green innovation, emphasized that the real transformation begins when businesses start questioning their current practices:

“Wherever flexible plastic is being used in your business, ask yourself—‘Is there a compostable alternative?’ That simple question is the starting point of meaningful change.”

PolyNext Awards 2025: A Global Stage for Sustainable Innovation

The PolyNext Awards 2025 celebrated visionaries and innovators who are redefining the future of plastics, polymer science, and sustainable materials. Organized by Next Business Media, the event attracted leading figures from across 50+ countries, including scientists, policymakers, sustainability leaders, and corporate executives.

The two-day event was a convergence of knowledge-sharing, industry partnerships, and sustainability leadership, featuring keynote sessions, expert panels, and awards honoring excellence in innovation, circularity, and green materials technology.

Speaking at the ceremony, Manish, the event organizer and Director at Next Business Media, remarked:

“Treetop Biopak represents exactly what the PolyNext vision stands for—innovation with responsibility. Their contribution to compostable packaging is a testament to how science and business can collaborate for a greener planet. They are not only solving an industrial challenge but are setting an example for how the packaging industry can evolve sustainably.”

From Plastic Problem to Compostable Solution

Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing global environmental issues. The World Bank estimates that over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced annually, with a large portion ending up in landfills or the ocean. Flexible plastics—commonly used in everyday packaging—are among the hardest to recycle.

Treetop Biopak’s compostable packaging solutions are a game-changer in addressing this challenge. Unlike traditional plastics that can take hundreds of years to decompose, compostable materials from Treetop Biopak break down naturally, turning into water, CO₂, and organic matter without leaving toxic residues.

Their solutions help reduce dependency on fossil fuels, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and support businesses in achieving net-zero goals. More importantly, they give consumers an easy, eco-friendly choice without compromising convenience or quality.

“We envision a world where packaging becomes a part of the solution—not the problem,” said Gross. “Every innovation we bring forward is built on this belief.”

The Terra Range – Leading the Compostable Revolution

At the heart of Treetop Biopak’s success is its Terra Range—a diverse portfolio of compostable materials tailored for industrial and consumer needs. Each product in this range is certified compostable, meeting stringent international standards for biodegradability and safety.

The Terra Range includes:

• Compostable Bags and Pouches – Suitable for food and non-food applications.
• Shrink and Stretch Films – Offering the same clarity and strength as plastic but fully compostable.
• High-Barrier Films – Ensuring freshness and product protection while being eco-friendly.
• Compostable Nets, Stickers, and Adhesive Tapes – Small components that make a big impact in reducing waste across supply chains.

These materials are designed to be industrial compost-friendly, with ongoing research to expand compatibility with home composting environments.

Each product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure performance, reliability, and safety—maintaining the trust of global brands that have made the switch to compostable alternatives.
