What is Greenfib?
Greenfib is a patented material (registration number: 1160141) that stands out as a true alternative to petroleum-based plastics. It’s 100% biosourced, durable, recyclable, and crafted from non-food crops, making it a responsible choice for companies looking for high-performance materials that are widely available. Born from an ecological vision, Greenfib isn’t just a product—it’s a movement aiming to transform the behaviors of industrialists, distributors, and users alike. It challenges economic players to rethink their models with an ecological bias, promoting sustainable economic coherence alongside environmental robustness.
Main Benefits of Greenfib
Here’s what makes Greenfib truly remarkable:
- 100% biosourced and recyclable, derived from non-food crops
- Patented since 2011, ensuring innovation and protection
- Durable and resistant to bending, perfect for lightweight applications
- Certified “food contact CE 10/2011,” ideal for reusable food containers
- Already used in 30,000 eyewear frames by Ecouter Voir and the ALL group
- Selected in prestigious material libraries like LVMH’s “Matière à penser” and Innovathèque
- Supports multiple manufacturing processes: injection, extrusion calendering, thermoforming
- Can be printed directly from granules or developed into 3D printing filaments
Greenfib’s Commitment to Ecological Transition
Greenfib is deeply involved in ecological transition networks such as Germe, Dirigeants Responsables, and the Coq vert community of BPI. It actively shares its experience and insights, taking the floor to testify about its journey and impact. The project embraces a global approach by optimizing sourcing, being the first client of recycled Rilsan (PA11), and establishing both BtoB and BtoC recycling channels. Mechanical grinding and reuse happen without adding virgin material, which is pretty impressive when you think about it.
Applications Across Industries
Originally created by an optician specifically for eyewear, Greenfib has proven its versatility. Beyond glasses, it’s ideal for producing durable objects that are reusable, rechargeable, and consigned. Its resistance to detergents and UV rays makes it perfect for reusable food containers. The cosmetic industry also benefits from Greenfib, with LVMH selecting it for sustainable, reusable, and rechargeable packaging as well as virtuous hygiene accessories. Plus, it fits right into construction needs, producing technical and aesthetic parts like electrical switches and heating systems, all while helping industries decarbonize their solutions.
Innovative Material for Modern Manufacturing
Greenfib’s adaptability shines through its compatibility with various manufacturing techniques. Whether it’s injection molding, extrusion calendering, or thermoforming, this material delivers industrial efficiency. And for those pushing the boundaries of design and production, Greenfib can be directly printed from its granules or turned into filament for 3D printing. This flexibility opens doors to countless innovative applications, making it a go-to choice for companies aiming to combine sustainability with cutting-edge technology.
Greenfib’s Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- SDG 13: Climate Action
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
- SDG 15: Life on Land
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Looking Ahead with Greenfib
To act differently, one must think differently… and look differently. Greenfib embodies this philosophy by building a comprehensive approach that bridges recycled and biosourced materials—two worlds often seen as opposed. By optimizing supply chains and fostering recycling without virgin material, Greenfib is not just creating a product but nurturing a new mindset. It’s a call to industries and consumers alike to embrace ecological robustness paired with sustainable economic coherence. The future looks greener, lighter, and more responsible thanks to innovations like Greenfib.
