BiOX shelf storage bins are made of a unique carbon-neutral material that is over 90% wood-based renewable plastics. This is made from a residue from the pulp production process. Then, it’s mixed with cellulose fibers from sustainably-managed forests. The quality, look and feel of the bins remain the same as traditional plastic bins, but now eco-friendly.

“Our long-term target is to offer our customers a completely carbon-neutral industrial working station,” said Esa Siljander, CEO of Treston.
Treston also makes 100% recyclable bins, and is working toward creating other workstation items. The sustainable wood-based plastic material for Treston BiOX bins comes from UPM, a global forest industry company and leading fiber-based composite manufacturer. The material for the transparent label shields and cross-dividers comes from Finnish startup Woodly.
