From tea bags to high-tech papers - fiber-based materials are the key to innovation and sustainability in paper production. Our journey has only begun to show how diverse and fascinating the world of fibers is.
Here is a look back at the most exciting representatives:
Pure nature:
// Abacá: The banana that makes tea bags tear-resistant.
// Hemp & Neptune grass: Sustainability meets robust versatility.
// Cotton: Fine fibers for particularly fine/stressed papers.
Circular economy in action:
// Waste paper: The perennial favorite for sustainable paper production.
// Fermentation residues: A new approach to the use of biological resources.
High-tech meets paper:
// Aramid, carbon & PET: Fibers that master extreme conditions.
// Glass & mica: Mineral innovations for special applications.
Tradition & modernity:
// Pulp (with whisky!): Creative approaches to proven classics.
// Rock wool: An exotic with potential.
Why fiber-based materials?
They are flexible, sustainable and open up new possibilities for us to be both environmentally friendly and functional.
