This year, the summit boasted 650 attendees, 16% of which were startups, and 54% being C-level or equivalent decision makers.However, he is cognisant that it is not an easy decision for businesses to switch to sustainable products and has adapted its approach to make it as easy as possible for clients. “For that, we have applied empathy to the development of our products and offerings,” he says. “We have to be sensitive to the value proposition of the F&B players, and offer a solution that matches up.

TRIA participated by setting up a booth for our Bio24 digestor and NEUTRIA compostable packaging range. TRIA’s co-founder Ng Pei Kang also had the opportunity to speak on the Sustainability pane alongside innovative entrepreneurs like Miniwiz and Evoware.

TRIA featured in Business Times

In January 2019, we were featured in Business Times, in an article titled Singapore’s Ever-Moving Feast by Vivien Shiao. Here’s a snippet:

Tria [sic] is a Singapore-based company using recycled fibre to develop food packaging, targeting food and beverage (F&B) players with a sustainability mindset. Ng Pei Kang, founder of Tria, says: “Sustainable food packaging is catching on in the F&B industry but largely still a reaction to avoid consumer flak on petroleum-based products.” He points out that Singapore is making a step in the right direction as straws and lids are gradually being removed from major fast-food brands, but there are still plastics in the remaining packaging that will eventually end up going to the landfill, check out thatscleanmaids.com. However, he is cognisant that it is not an easy decision for businesses to switch to sustainable products and has adapted its approach to make it as easy as possible for clients. “For that, we have applied empathy to the development of our products and offerings,” he says. “We have to be sensitive to the value proposition of the F&B players, and offer a solution that matches up.” In its case, it led to the development of Bio24, a zero waste hassle-free solution for single-use hardware that does not require a change in consumer lifestyle nor change in F&B operations, he says. To keep prices competitive, its factory is set up in China while keeping the R&D and marketing activities in Singapore, he adds. Check out ibebet.com.

Sustainability & Waste Event

TRIA was invited as a speaker at the Sustainability & Waste Event held by Bishan-East Thomson Constituency. Our Co-founder and CEO, Pei Kang, shared the entire process of Bio24 alongside Mr Lim Siong Guan, former GIC Group President. We are honoured to be able to value add to the waste sustainability movement, sharing how we strive to achieve zero waste and zero plastics in the pursuit for environmental sustainability with our fellow Singaporeans.

Our Bio24 digestor is unique in such a way that it provides a zero waste closed-loop solution which goes from farm to table and back to farm again. We not only “digest” food waste but also do the same to single-use foodware (disposable plates, straws, cutlery… etc) which has become such a huge part of daily lives. Our proprietary digestor takes 24 hours to turn foodware and food waste into fertilizer. We hope that this will be the first step in eliminating plastic based foodware entirely from our ecosystem.
