Sustainability goals

Trioworld has a strong focus on sustainability and has set clear goals for the use of Post-Consumer Recycled materials in many of its products. That is why its new high performance stretch film has 30% PCR content.
The task of creating a cast stretch film with Post-Consumer Recycled content – whilst keeping the high-quality level - was a tough challenge. Generally speaking, recycling stretch film soon leads to a drop in quality, as the stretch film intended for recycling is often contaminated due to its previous use. However, Trioworld’s starting point was that the new stretch film must comply with the high standards of both customers and Trioworld itself.
“The reason Trioworld managed to develop a high performing stretch film with recycled content is by applying those high-quality standards throughout the entire process. And this is why customers can be sure of a consistent product”, says Jolien Stevels Research & Development Director at Trioworld.
At Trioworld’s recycling plant in France, the collected stretch film is sorted, cleaned and treated to make new raw material for the Katan-Ex Loop30. The result: a circular cast stretch film with a lower carbon footprint.
Proven quality
Due to Trioworld's own recycling facilities and innovative process, so-called clean PCR is produced, which is the basis for the new stretch film. Then, with the aid of micro-layer (nano) technology, Katan-Ex Loop30 is produced with a pre-stretch level up to 285% and a high level of consistency.
After being thoroughly and frequently tested by a major player in the beverage industry, Katan-Ex Loop30 has proven:
- Low film consumption in application due to the high pre-stretch level
- High uptime in the wrapping process
- Excellent pallet stability
