Grimsholm Green · Signal Cable Bio-Spike
Through a tight collaboration with Trifilon and its local injection molding partner, Grimsholm was able to move production back to Sweden and even lower its logistics CO₂ footprint.
With a clear focus on long-term growth, Grimsholm realized that sustainability was an essential point for its Swedish and European customers.
The new bio-spike is made from Trifilon S, an innovative thermoplastic biocomposite made from renewable, non-GMO plant-based feedstocks that incorporates CO₂ sequestering hemp fibers sourced from eco-friendly EU farms.
Project application example
The main ingredients in most conventional plastics are dug up, mined, or pumped from the ground. Once they’re used, they can’t be replaced. Trifilon S is something different. The main ingredients in Trifilon S come from farm crops that can be harvested, used and after composting they do not harm the environment.
This avenue of sustainability is immediately understandable: Plastic products don’t need to nibble at the Earth’s resources and be turned into materials that will persist as waste for thousands of years. Trifilon S is derived from plants and it degrades to non-toxic compounds when it is industrial composted.

Trifilon S in Depth: From Renewable Resources
Trifilon S is a marvel. Not only is it strong, but under just the right conditions it will disappear before your very eyes. Being made from renewable, bio-based sources, Trifilon S is fully compostable when disposed of properly in industrial composting facilities.
When developing Trifilon S, we initially had our doubts as to whether something so robust would degrade. As it turns out, after 39 days at 58°C and high humidity, our Trifilon S samples were all gone!
