Presenting the Sustainable Paper Cable Tie
FibreStrap is designed to easily replace the current plastic solutions for bundling, securing, and attaching in any industry. Made of long fibres from the woods of Scandinavia, the strap is strong and versatile – both recyclable and biodegradable within a reasonable time.
A renewable solution
Since 1958, the world has been using a plastic product made to last for hundreds of years – only to use it once. What a waste. Challenging this unsustainable option, the FibreStrap Team has designed a solution with renewable materials from natural resources. Made to endure, but not to last.
The materials in FibreStrap
FibreStrap consists of renewable materials – from natural resources that can be replenished, generation after generation. We have designed out waste and pollution to accelerate a move towards a circular bio-economy. FibreStrap is a minimum of 85% plant-based. Our wood fibres are from certified materials.
The applications of FibreStrap
FibreStrap has a wide range of applications with its self-locking permanent seal, high tensile strength and is easy to use. FibreStrap can be used to hang, hold, attach, seal and bundle just about anything. FibreStrap enables you to: reduce CO2 emissions, reduce water consumption, customise lengths, and reduce the use of fossil plastic.
Performance and usability
Who would imagine that wood fibres could endure the same strength tests as plastic cable ties? FibreStrap has been tested and validated according to the type 2 test that is a standard test for plastic cable ties.

The sustainable benefits of FibreStrap
We believe that everyone can contribute to a more sustainable world. Even small steps are important. Replacing a traditional plastic strap, made from 100% petroleum-based plastic, will have direct improved effects on the environment. FibreStrap will provide you with the following sustainability benefits when replacing 200 mm fossil plastic cable ties in Nylon 6/6 (Polyamide):
-
