The Triman logo in Europe shows products should be recycled properly. It guides consumers to sort waste correctly, supporting recycling, reducing waste, and promoting a circular economy.

Durability means making products that last long, reducing waste and resource use. It supports sustainability by lowering pollution and fitting into a circular economy. How long do your things last?

Packaging optimisation means using less, eco-friendly materials to protect products, reduce waste, and boost recycling. It saves resources, cuts emissions, and supports a circular economy.

Packaging should use less material, be strong, easy to recycle or reuse, clearly labeled, and eco-friendly in materials and inks to cut waste and pollution while protecting products well.
