The leading Swedish biocomposite maker Trifilon has three material families, each with a sustainability focus:

1. Trifilon B mixes food safe polypropylene with plant fibers to reduce weight, improve mechanical properties and lower CO2 footprint. The long technical bast fibres of plants like industrial hemp are typically used in Trifilon B to reinforce polypropylene. This biocomposite is highly versatile, both mechanically and aesthetically as it works with standard injection molding machines. The natural fibres reduce the CO₂ footprint significantly.
2. Trifilon S again takes all the main ingredients from plants and is compostable. A starch-based polyester is reinforced with fibres from long-bast plants like industrial hemp whose fibres can make up 10 to 20% of standard recipes. The bio-based polyester is derived from plants like sugarcane, corn and beet-root. These biocomposites can be recycled and decomposed in industrial composting.
3. Trifilon R uses recycled polypropylene with plant fibres and aims to ensure a CO₂-neutral footprint. The recycled polypropylene comes from highly-consistent industrial waste streams in northern Europe and is reinforced with natural fibres like hemp and wood cellulose. Depending on the end-of-life scenario, the carbon accounting for products made with Trifilon R can show a net zero footprint due to the sequestration-effect of the plant fibre.
