BIOWRAPS WINS SILVER AT THE 2026 YOUTH AWARDS – A MARK OF INNOVATION AND A JOURNEY TOWARD A GREENER FUTURE

A Milestone in the Innovation Journey of a Young Enterprise

The Silver Award at the 2026 Tuoi Tre Awards serves as a meaningful recognition of BioWraps’ efforts in research, technological development, and the commercialization of innovative solutions within the fields of biomaterials and sustainable packaging.

For BioWraps, this accolade is not merely a source of pride; it is an encouragement for the company’s persistent pursuit of a unique path—transforming agricultural by-products into valuable raw materials, reducing reliance on fossil-fuel-based plastics, and creating practical solutions for a green economy.

Most importantly, the award holds profound significance for a young enterprise currently focused on building its technological foundation, refining its products, and gradually expanding its market presence. It stands as a testament to the spirit of initiative, creativity, and the desire of a new generation of entrepreneurs to contribute to the sustainable development of Ho Chi Minh City.

BioWraps – Repurposing Fruit By-products to Create Biomaterials

Established in 2022, BioWraps aims to be a pioneer in the research, development, and commercialization of biomaterials derived from agricultural by-products—specifically fruit peels (such as those from oranges, pomelos, and mangoes) and other natural biomass sources.

Through research and the application of biotechnological processing—integrating biopolymers with naturally derived additives—BioWraps develops raw materials and packaging products that are biodegradable, with the goal of minimizing environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle.

BioWraps’ product ecosystem focuses on the following key categories:

BioResin: Bio-based resin derived from agricultural by-products, used for the manufacturing and processing of packaging products.

BioFilm: Biodegradable films and packaging membranes for use across various sectors.

BioPackaging: Eco-friendly packaging solutions—such as bio-based bags, cups, containers, bowls, and plates—designed for the food and beverage industry.

OEM/ODM: Research, design, formulation development, and the transfer of technological processes tailored to the specific requirements of partner enterprises.

For BioWraps, the Silver Award at the 2026 Tuoi Tre Awards is not the final destination, but rather a vital stepping stone for the company to further strengthen its internal capabilities and scale its operations.

Moving forward, BioWraps will focus on four strategic directions:

1. Standardizing technology and production processes: Continuing to invest in research, refining material formulations, ensuring quality control, and developing scalable production workflows.

2. Expanding the domestic market: Developing distribution networks and strengthening partnerships with manufacturers, retail chains, the F&B sector, and other entities looking to transition to sustainable packaging.

3. Advancing international collaboration: Gradually expanding OEM/ODM operations, facilitating technology transfers, and pursuing commercial partnerships in markets with a high demand for bio-based materials.

4. Increasing environmental and social impact: Scaling the collection and repurposing of agricultural by-products, creating added value within the agricultural supply chain, and contributing to the development of a circular economy.

Youth – Daring to think, daring to act, and creating value for the community

Reflecting on this milestone, Mr. Trinh Cong Qui, founder of BioWraps, shared:

“The Silver Award at the 2026 Tuoi Tre Awards holds great significance for BioWraps. It not only recognizes the efforts of our team but also serves as a powerful motivation for us to remain steadfast on the path we have chosen.

We believe that agricultural by-products—often dismissed as having no further value—can be transformed into new resources through dedicated research and the application of appropriate technology. BioWraps aims to demonstrate that a young Vietnamese enterprise can start by addressing immediate local challenges and evolve into a solution with commercial value, while contributing to broader goals related to the environment and sustainable development.

While many challenges lie ahead, we remain committed to strengthening our technological foundation, expanding our market reach, and partnering with the city on its journey toward a green transition.”

Beyond simply developing an alternative to conventional plastic, BioWraps aims to build a circular economy model in which the value of agricultural by-products is regenerated through technology, scientific research, and commercial activity.

From the laboratory to the market – Steadfast on the path to commercialization

One of the greatest challenges for green technology enterprises lies not only in creating new products but also in successfully transitioning technology from the laboratory to practical, real-world application.

At BioWraps, development is driven by three core pillars: refining technology, building production capacity, and expanding into the market.

The company is progressively broadening its collaborations with both domestic and international partners across the packaging, food, retail, and green material distribution sectors. Partnerships in Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, and other international markets are creating opportunities for bio-material technology—derived from fruit by-products—to become more deeply integrated into global supply chains.

In particular, BioWraps focuses on an OEM/ODM model, enabling the company and its partners to collaborate on research, design, material formulation adjustments, and the transfer of production processes tailored to specific, practical application needs. This is a key strategic direction for BioWraps—not only to develop its own product brand but also to become a technology partner within the sustainable materials ecosystem.

The award serves as the starting point for a new phase of development.

BioWraps extends its sincere gratitude to the organizers of the Tuoi Tre Award 2026, as well as to the agencies, organizations, experts, partners, customers, and the community for their companionship, support, and recognition of our efforts over the past period.

From the initial concept of repurposing fruit peels into practical, bio-based material solutions, BioWraps remains committed to moving forward—driven by science, technology, and a spirit of innovation.
