Why Us
Why Altfibr Delivers What Others Can’t
Stronger. Better. Proven.
When blended with Southern Bleached Kraft Pulp, Altfibr boosts tensile and burst strength by up to 100%—delivering measurable performance gains without reengineering your process.
Consistent Supply, Zero Guesswork
Unlike wheat straw or corn, which are harvested just once a year, Altfibr’s feedstocks come from crops harvested every week—delivering year-round fiber at scale. And because we don’t rely on forest-based or annual crops, we help you avoid the regulatory risks tied to conventional fiber sourcing.
Technically Advanced Inputs
We engineer our fibers from high-yield agricultural byproducts like banana stems, pineapple leaves, and seaweed—designed for performance, not just sustainability.
Drop-In Compatibility
Engineered to work with your existing machinery. No slowdowns. No retooling. No trade-offs on drainage or runnability.
Applications
Built to Perform Across Industries
Kraft Pulp Replacement Solution
Our Non-Wood Kraft Pulp (NWKP) blends seamlessly with SBSK and boosts tensile and burst strength by up to 100%—delivering next-level performance without the NBSK price tag.
Lightweight Textile Fiber for Fashion
Our novel cellulose fibers land between cotton and linen—offering performance, comfort, traceability, and a lower carbon footprint. All the impact, none of the luxury markup.
Bio-Based Barriers for Packaging
Altfibr’s NWKP is processed into nano-cellulose barriers that rival incumbent technologies—while slashing energy use and eliminating petroleum-based inputs.

Our Values
What Drives Us Forward
Performance-Driven, Always
We build for speed, scale, and strength—because your materials have a job to do. Sustainability is the bonus, not the baseline.
Innovation is Our Default
We rethink fiber from the molecule up—using science and engineering to unlock what nature can do, faster and smarter than before.
Built Around the Operator
Our tech works where you work. Seamless integration, minimal disruption, and a deep understanding of what your team actually needs.
Real Impact, at Industrial Scale
We’re committed to being your partner of choice and delivering solutions that exceed expectations at industrial scale, not just lab scale.
