Trioworld has raised its sustainability target for use of PCR to 30 percent by 2025

"As a manufacturer of plastic products, Trioworld aims to take a leading role in the work towards increased circularity of plastics in our society. Our new sustainability target of 30 percent PCR (Post-Consumer Recyclates) contributes both to reducing the total amount of plastic in society that goes to incineration and to lowering our products’ carbon footprint," says Oskar Karlsson, Chief Procurement Officer and VP Sustainability at Trioworld.

By increasing the share of PCR in the products, Trioworld levels up its overall sustainability ambition. Previously, the target of 30 percent included both PCR (Post-Consumer Recyclates, plastics that have been used for the purpose for which it was manufactured) and PIR (Post-Industrial Recyclates, industrial waste) but the target will now be fully achieved solely with PCR, by 2025.

"We will of course continue to use PIR in our products as it’s an excellent way to re-use industrial waste. But it is when we recycle plastic that has already served its original purpose we really contribute to the society’s circularity," explains Oskar Karlsson.

Already, Trioworld's sustainable product range has already a large number of products containing at least 25 percent PCR in the Loop range. In addition, the products that require a smaller amount of raw material while maintaining performance are found in the Lean range. Products containing at least 25 percent raw material that is either bio-based or mass-balanced, belongs to the range Bio. And the number of sustainable products is continuously expanded.

To certify the products containing PCR, Trioworld has, based on the report from the independent expert IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, chosen the certification scheme RecyClass recycled plastics traceability, which certifies the use of recycled materials and PCR separately in individual products.

"Several of our production units are now working to certify of one or more of their products with RecyClass. We think it’s important to show our customers that we actively live up to our promises," says Oskar Karlsson.
