Mr Pei Kang NG

Ng Pei Kang is the CEO of TRIA, an award winning, close-the-loop company for packaging - offering a range of innovative and sustainable packaging solutions from product, services to end-to-end ecosystem.

In 2022, TRIA started a world-first pilot with KFC to close the loop for single-use packaging. This pilot demonstrates how fast-food brands like KFC can reconcile circularity with the modern-day convenience of single-use packaging.

Utilising breakthrough technologies in material, recycling and valorisation, TRIA has developed an end to-end system which starts from the supply of bio-based packaging, to the collect back of its waste for organic recycling, turning waste into farm-ready fertilizers for crop growth. This in effect not just allows fast-food restaurants to close the loop on their single-use packaging, it opens a new chapter on regenerative food and the possibilities of a circular food system.

In his work, Pei Kang advocates how innovation is the key to drive sustainability. He believes sustainability is not a zero-sum game and how we can break the resistances in adoption is through the value-adding of innovation. Pei Kang is an honouree on Eco-Business’s A-list for Sustainability Leadership and a juror for the Singapore Good Design Award for sustainable solutions.
