Knows Bast
Naturally engineered fibre for the global nonwovens industry.
We work with
mother nature
Bast Fibre Tech produces 100% plant-based, intact natural fibres with the technical and performance requirements for a wide variety of nonwoven applications. We are working to fill the critical need for sustainable alternatives to man-made fibres.
What We Do
Seed
We start with the seeds of dicotyledon plants - a family of plants containing Bast Fibres - Hemp, Flax, Jute, Kenaf.
Agronomics
We ensure the responsible growth and health of our crops by working with progressive agricultural standards and practices.
Decortication
With a careful mechanical process, we separate the bast fibres from the surrounding plant matter being sure to maintain the structural integrity of the interior phloem fibres which are critical for absorbency.
Wet Processing
Using innovative proprietary processing techniques, we clean, separate and refine the bast fibres.
Fibre Modification
We apply innovative natural modifications to the fibres including cohesion enhancement, absorbency modulation and custom staple length in order to suit a variety of product applications.
Products
Our products are leading the fibre industry in the transition from synthetic and semi-synthetic materials to intact plant-based, fully compostable alternatives.
Our foundation fibre for blending, multipurpose, and short-fibre applications.
Ultra clean fibre, optimized for consistency, strength, cohesion, and softness. Perfect for next to skin applications.
Fibre treated to create unique properties, designed to customer specifications, eg. Quat Compatibility and Rx applications.
