About Us
Dr. Donald Freas founded TriVitro after a 30 year career in the mining and metals industry . He was asked to participate in Washington State's Clean Washington Center, a public-private initiative to find creative ways to increase the markets and uses of recyclable commodities. Focusing specifically on waste glass, he realized that much of the technology used in the mineral fields could be adapted to processing recycled glass. Intrigued by the possibilities of the 'urban mine' of recycled materials, Dr. Freas founded TriVitro in 1996 to develop the commercial uses for recycled glass. The company started as a small-scale processing plant at the old Henry Bacon Lumber site (now the 351 Elliott Avenue Office Park) and since expanded to a high capacity processing plant in Kent, Washington.
Family Owned
While TriVitro teams up with some of the largest glass processors across North America, it remains a family owned company. Currently the third generation is boning up on glass products.
100% Recycled Products
All of TriVitro's products are made from 100% recycled post-consumer container glass or post-industrial plate glass scrap. All of this material is diverted from landfills to be reused in clean, effective and environmentally friendly products.
American Made
With our own processing facility and partner plants across North America, TriVitro is able to provide high quality products close to our customers, reducing the need for long freight hauls.
