This development marks a significant step forward in our journey towards closing the material loop.

Advanced Lean Solutions: Our new generation Lean films continue to push the boundaries by using even less material while maintaining superior performance and reducing the carbon footprint associated with production and transport. These advancements showcase our ability to lead in sustainable packaging development with practical, immediate solutions.

Innovations/Technologies/Products:

Lean Concepts: Our Lean product line is designed to minimize material use without compromising efficiency or durability. These innovations are a testament to our commitment to reducing environmental impact through smarter, reduced material usage which directly leads to lower carbon footprints.
Loop Concepts: The Loop range focuses on promoting circularity in packaging materials. Featuring polyethylene (PE) films that incorporate at least 25% Post-Consumer Recyclates (PCR), these products exemplify our commitment to cutting waste and enhancing sustainability. By reintegrating recycled content, we close the material loop and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

These products are not merely conceptual but are effective, existing solutions that adhere to Trioworld’s theme, “Solutions Today for a Circular Tomorrow.” They reflect a proactive approach in fostering a circular economy and demonstrate that sustainability can be intertwined with daily business operations and product offerings.
