Fiber Reinforcement for High-Performance Plastics

Sustainable Reinforcement Solutions for Plastics


J. Rettenmaier (JRS) natural fibers are engineered to enhance the mechanical performance, dimensional stability, and sustainability of plastic compounds.
Derived from renewable resources, these fibers provide manufacturers with a biodegradable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic fillers, enabling innovation in bioplastics, engineered thermoplastics, and sustainable composites. 
 
 

Key Benefits of JRS Fibers in Plastics


Lightweight Reinforcement:  
  • Improve stiffness, strength, and impact resistance without adding weight—perfect for automotive, consumer goods, and packaging applications where lightweighting is critical. 


Dimensional Stability & Shrink Control:  

  • Reduce warpage and improve tolerance consistency in molded parts, ensuring higher quality and less material waste. 


Biodegradable Alternative:  

  • Replace mineral or glass fillers with a renewable natural fiber solution, supporting carbon footprint reduction and compliance with sustainability goals. 


Cost-Effective Performance:  

  • Achieve excellent property improvements while reducing resin usage and overall production costs. 

Applications in Plastics Manufacturing



Bioplastics & Compostable Materials:  

Enhance tensile strength and performance of PLA, PHA, and starch-based biopolymers, improving end-use functionality. 

Automotive & Transportation Plastics:  

Provide lightweight reinforcement in polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and nylon (PA) for interior and under-the-hood applications, reducing vehicle weight and emissions. 

Packaging & Consumer Goods:  

Deliver stability and sustainability in injection-molded and extruded plastics for everyday consumer products. 

Construction & Industrial Applications:  

Reinforce plastics used in durable building materials and composite products.
