Bio PLA-fibres versus natural fibres/Bio PLA-mats versus natural fibre textiles

Why making biomaterials like PLA? 

• The raw material for PLA -starch- is available all over the world
• For some applications PLA can be a supplement or an alternative for synthetic or natural fibre products

Why making PLA-biofibres and PLA-textiles?

• PLA-fibres have their own caracteristics (UV-stable, FR, thermomoladble…)
• PLA-fibres can be given an ideal thickness, length, shape so they can be lead to more performant end products (not only biobased & compostable but also lighter, stronger, easy to handle, more homogenous…)
• Continous supply, production in Europe
