Hemp Fiber
Hemp fiber is a rapidly renewable, high-performance natural fiber known for its exceptional strength, low density, and thermal efficiency. Its hollow structure provides excellent insulation and moisture management, making it ideal for nonwoven insulation, molded composites, and technical textiles. Industrial hemp also captures and stores carbon during growth, supporting low-embodied-carbon manufacturing and circular design principles.
Bespoke Natural Fiber
Our bespoke natural fibers include custom blends of flax, jute, kenaf, coir, and other plant-based materials, engineered to meet your specific product or process needs. These fibers can be tailored for stiffness, absorbency, thermal stability, or surface finish, offering a natural alternative to glass or synthetic reinforcements in composites, panels, and nonwovens. We work with global partners to design the right balance of mechanical performance and processability for your end use.
Recycled Cellulose
Recycled cellulose fibers are sourced from post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste, paper, and cotton shoddies. They deliver a cost-effective, circular solution that diverts valuable fibers from landfill and reintroduces them into new product streams. With high absorbency and low embodied energy, these fibers are ideal for acoustic and thermal insulation, packaging, and molded fiber products seeking sustainability and performance.
Regenerated Fiber
Regenerated fibers are mechanically reclaimed from post-consumer and post-industrial textiles, giving new life to materials such as denim, knits, and mixed apparel waste. These fibers span a wide range of compositions—from high-cotton and high-wool to blended cotton–synthetic streams—offering circular, low-carbon alternatives for nonwovens and composites. With proper sorting and processing, regenerated fibers provide bulk, durability, and acoustic or thermal performance while reducing waste and reliance on virgin inputs.
Biobased Polymers
Biobased polymers are derived from renewable feedstocks such as corn, sugarcane, or cellulose. Used as thermal bonding fibers, films, or resin systems, they enable high biocontent, compostable, or low-carbon product designs. Whether as a binder in air-laid nonwovens or a matrix in molded composites, biobased polymers enhance product sustainability without sacrificing performance or durability.
Synthetic Polymers
Synthetic polymers remain essential for certain technical and high-demand applications. At Plant Fiber Technologies, we incorporate recycled or high-efficiency synthetics such as PET, PP, and PE to provide mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and thermal bonding capability. When combined thoughtfully with natural fibers, they deliver hybrid materials that balance renewable content with durability and manufacturing precision.
FROM THE SOURCE
Plant Fiber Technologies is deeply entrenched in the natural fiber supply chain. Since we make products with natural fiber, we know where to source natural fiber, and we understand what types of natural fibers you might need for your project.
FIBER SPOTLIGHT: HEMP, FIBER FOR THE FUTURE.
Our preferred fiber comes from an unlikely source: Cannabis Sativa of the industrial hemp variety. Why hemp? First off, Industrial Hemp is a rapidly renewable feedstock that captures carbon dioxide. It produces fiber that is remarkably strong, and can be used in many applications. Other fibers we work with include cotton, flax, kenaf, jute, wool, and wood fiber.
