Cellulose micro-/nanofibers

Sustainable cellulose micro-/nanofibers as reinforcements to help plastic/composite manufacturers make lighter and more sustainable products

Pilot

Cellulose micro-/nanofibers for enhanced product performances and reduced carbon footprint

Icon of a present

The need

Plastic or composite manufacturers wish to reduce the weight and carbon footprint of their products, but without sacrificing those products’ performance.

The value proposition

• Improving sustainability, enabling the reduction of carbon footprint (-30-50%) of the product by improving the sustainable factions (+30-50%) in it.
• Lightweight, reducing the material’s weight (currently -45%, potentially -70%), without compromising its performance.
• Easy to use, unlike other solutions (water dispersions of cellulose micro-/nanofibers), FineCell’s cellulose micro-/nanofibers are delivered as dry powders that can be directly used for compounding.
• Good compatibility with different types of plastics, the key to ensuring good performance of the product.
