Ng Pei Kang is the CEO of TRIA, an award-winning company for sustainable and innovative foodware solutions. Over the years, TRIA has built a reputation for its clever use of design to drive sustainability, such as the Leaf Box for Crave Nasi Lemak, the Multi-tier Carrier of Pizza Boxes for Canadian Pizza and, most recently, the V-Pouch for Pizza Hut. These efforts have helped shift foodservice brands away from plastic and reduce overall packaging material used.
With a commitment to reducing reliance on fossil-based plastics, TRIA has incubated a Circular Solution for Single-use Foodware. Utilising breakthrough technologies in material, recycling and valorisation, TRIA has developed an end-to-end system that starts from the supply of bio-digestible packaging and extends to the collection and organic recycling of its waste, turning it into farm-ready fertilizers for crop growth. This not only allows fast-food restaurants to close the loop on single-use packaging, it also opens a new chapter in regenerative food, energy and circular food systems.
TRIA’s achievements have been recognized globally, with features in over 100 media channels and numerous awards, including the Emerging Enterprise Award, the ASEAN-Korea Excellent Design Award, and the SICC Award for the most scalable collaboration. As a design-led entrepreneur with a background in design innovation, technology management and R&D, Pei Kang brings a strong, outcome-driven perspective on how thoughtful, user-centric design can accelerate the transition towards sustainable and circular solutions.
