VitaStrim: The Heart of Innovation
At the core of NOOSTRIM’s offering is VitaStrim®, a patented material designed to revolutionize food packaging. Unlike traditional plastics that can leach harmful molecules like Bisphenol A, phthalates, or dioxins into food, VitaStrim is made only with natural additives. It’s odorless, doesn’t degrade over time, and is built to be reused and recycled multiple times. This means better lifecycle management, less resource consumption, and a big step toward minimizing waste. Plus, it’s all rooted in cutting-edge French research — a real game-changer for the industry.

Then there’s the StrimCup, a reusable cup that links directly to your payment system — making transactions smoother and more sustainable. And with StrimConnect, these smart containers communicate with your business applications, offering traceability and operational insights. It’s packaging that’s not just reusable but also tech-savvy.
