Reinforces Commitment to Providing
Sustainable Customer Solutions
TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced that Rieke, part of its
TriMas Packaging group, has further advanced its commitment to
sustainability with the commercialization of the patented Mono™-2e
pump, a unique dispenser pump that is fully recyclable.
Rieke’s Mono™-2e dispenser, which is currently in production,
was the first dispenser pump on the market made from one polymer
grade resin, making it more easily recycled, without sorting or
separation. After proving production robustness, it became
commercially available and ready for advanced design applications
for customers serving the beauty, personal care and other end
markets.
“Our commitment to sustainable practices has been long-standing
at TriMas, as it exemplifies our core values of integrity and
respect for the environment and the communities in which we
operate,” said Thomas Amato, TriMas President and Chief Executive
Officer. “TriMas’ Packaging group leads the way with innovative,
sustainable products, and is continuing to design and develop new
products to meet customers’ and consumers’ evolving sustainability
goals.”
The highly innovative Mono™-2e was recognized as a 2020 finalist
of the Sustainability Packaging Coalition Innovator Awards for the
revolutionary single-polymer design, as the patented pump features
six parts, all made from one polymer. It is 100% recyclable and
designed to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. In addition,
the Mono™-2e is e-commerce ready, minimizing the risk of leakage
during shipping, and is Amazon ISTA 6 compliant.
“Our goal was to deliver a dispensing pump designed to
facilitate the recycling process, making it easy for consumers by
eliminating the metal spring and reducing the number of materials
used,” explained Fabio Salik, President of TriMas Packaging. “We
are also working on developing additional dispensing products made
from a single-material without compromising quality, aesthetics,
performance or formula compatibility. We look forward to launching
our newest pump that is currently in advanced stages of testing,
under the brand Singolo™.”
TriMas Packaging’s line of single-polymer dispensing pumps is
available to customers through its global locations in North
America, Asia and Europe. These advanced product designs also
contribute to the increasing sustainability trend of using
post-consumer resin (PCR) and can more easily feed the PCR stream
without additional processes to separate different grades or
varieties of polymer. The Mono™-2e pump’s single polypropylene
grade of material enables easy reuse upon recycling which reduces
additional steps, investments and overall carbon footprint.
