- Trifilon RTrifilon R is a recycled biocomposite that combines high-grade recycled polypropylene with natural fibres such as hemp and wood-derived cellulose. Developed by Swedish material company Trifilon, the material is designed to reduce the use of virgin fossil resources while retaining the processing and mechanical characteristics required for demanding injection-moulded products.
- Textile/resin compositeThis composite material consists of glass fibre reinforced polypropylene pultrusions applied as warp in a fabric with thin black fibres as weft. By heating and compression moulding this fabric, flat or curved panels are manufactured with a relatively high strength and stiffness.
- Weaving Welsh Wool Into Biobased Building SystemsBiobased building materials continue to attract attention as the construction sector looks beyond carbon reduction alone towards circularity, healthy indoor environments and renewable resources.…
- Architecture inspired by ladybug wingsResearchers and students from University of Stuttgart developed a large-scale architectural structure inspired by the folding mechanisms of ladybug wings, made of carbon and…
- PiumafilPiumafil is made out of 85% cotton and 15% kapok fibre.It is ultra lightweight and has good temperature regulation properties. The fibre is coated with a natural water repellent wax and absorbs almost no humidity.

- LangotecLangotec is made of c-glass, e-glass, aramide, silicate and carbon. It can be produced in dimensionally-stable sleeves and tapes. Lango®tube is a braided and woven sleeve for various reinforcement and insulation applications.
- 3D printed customised compositesFiberneering is a manufacturer of 3D printed fibre reinforced composite parts. They create customised strong and lightweight products in almost any shape. The company offers freedom in design, and possibilities for structural applications as well as prototypes. Fully functional carbon or glass fibre reinforced parts can be produced in almost any shape or form.
- The first garment made from tree-free rayonThe Australian-based company Nanollose created the world's first wearable garment using a tree-free version of rayon, made using microbes that convert biomass waste products…
- Flax wallpaperFlax offers the opportunity to produce nonwovens with outstanding properties such as extreme tear-resistance, durability, and robustness at a relatively low production cost. This wallpaper high tear-and UV-resistance, a soft touch, as well as good insulating properties. It does not require a supporting material and can be applied directly to the wall with the specially developed glue for flax wallpaper.
- No ordinary building blockA new composite building block system works by 3D printing X-shaped blocks which are then snapped together to form super strong constructions. Could the…
- Recyclable Epoxy Composite Combines Fire Safety With Lightweight PerformanceAircraft and passenger trains rely on composite materials that combine low weight, mechanical strength and high fire resistance. However, many of these composites contain…
- Award-Winning Powwow Arbour Showcases Regenerative Timber Design and Indigenous KnowledgeA cultural gathering space built from regionally sourced structural round timber has received two of Canada's highest architectural honours. The Muscowpetung Powwow Arbour in…
- Recycled Paper Profiles As A Circular Alternative To Steel In Drywall SystemsSteel studs form the structural framework of most gypsum partition walls. However, new material developments show that biobased alternatives can replace these metal components.…
- Self-Healing Composite Materials Could Redefine Long-Term Performance in Structural DesignResearchers at North Carolina State University have developed a self-healing composite material that could radically extend the lifespan of high-performance structural components. The material…
- Sustainable Cellulose from Agricultural Waste: Oat Husks and Wheat Straw as Viable AlternativesAs demand for cellulose-based textile fibres continues to rise, researchers are exploring sustainable alternatives to traditional wood-derived pulp. A recent study published in RSC…

- Sugarcrete®Sugarcrete® provides a low-carbon alternative to bricks and concrete blockwork developed by the University of East London (UEL). The material combines sugarcane fibres left over after sugar production, with sand-mineral binders to produce bricks that have a carbon footprint six times smaller than traditionally made clay bricks.
- Ekoa®Ekoa® is a high-performance, clean-air plant-based composite that can replace wood, plastics, and laminates in all interior applications – from dashboards to floors, to furniture, and so on – with a cost-competitive, carbon-negative, clean product that delivers a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel. Ekoa® is crafted of natural fibres and plant resins for strong, elegant surfaces with the best air quality and lowest carbon footprint.
