TR-EECell

 TR-EECell is a bio-based cross-linked polyethylene foam. The product consists almost entirely of raw materials derived from biomass (sugar cane). The process of exploiting the sugar cane usually involves five squeezing steps: The juice from the first two steps is destined for the production of brown sugar for human consumption, while the remaining three steps generate a less valuable juice and not suitable for the production of food sugar. 

The ethanol necessary for our foam comes from fermented sugar cane juices extracted during the last three squeezing steps, therefore unsuitable for human consumption. From the polymerization of this ethanol the polymers necessary for the production of bio-based PE foam are obtained. Furthermore, even the remaining parts of the sugar cane are not wasted: the final residues of the juices (bagasse) are incinerated, thus producing energy used in the production process of sugar and ethanol and thus giving a further and significant contribution that aims to increase sustainability. 

Tr-EECell is: 

· Bio-Sourced:
Trocellen cross-linked PE foams with bio-source PE. Only the source changes, the final result is the same 

· High performance: The product has the same technical features than other Trocellen polyethylene foam products. 

· Versatile: Suitable for several applications, due to its high quality and processability. 

· Certified: The bio-based content has been tested by accredited external laboratory according to ASTM D6866-16. Based on this test, TR-EECell foam product range (N and RN bio-based grades) successfully obtained the DIN CERTCO bio-based certification, at the highest level (>85% of Bio-based) (see more here: https://tr-eecell.trocellen.com/ ).
