ADVERTORIAL - 

Trifilon BioLite® is a greener alternative to moulded plastics from a leading Swedish biocomposite-maker. It blends polypropylene with natural fibres from sustainable European farms and forests. The blends are available in different ratios, currently from 10 to 35% fibre-filling. Trifilon delivers granulates that can be used in existing injection molding machines. Because of the strength of the natural fibres and Trifilon’s fiber-refining technology, BioLite has excellent mechanical qualities and replaces pure-fossil plastics as well as mineral reinforced plastics.

The natural fiber in BioLite enables a CO2 footprint reduction of up to 60% compared to conventional plastics. And Trifilon’s fibre processing allows for lighter colors than other biocomposites. BioLite can be coloured using standard master-batching. Its plant fibers can be shown off if desired and it achieves a number of surface finishes, matte or polished.
