Application in details
Biocomposite materials the essence of which is that under the influence of pressure and temperature, crushed plant raw materials acquire the ability to form a monolithic material.
NPSP uses as many local natural fibres as possible, such as flax, hemp and, increasingly, residual materials such as roadside grass, cane and recycled toilet paper. These fibres require significantly less energy to produce and fewer chemicals to bind to the binder.
As a filler, NPSP uses lime extracted from the water of drinking water companies instead of lime from mines. Drinking water companies divert this lime to soften water and extend the life of washing machines and dishwashers. The resins we use are also based on residual streams from other industries. For example, resins are produced from waste from biodiesel production, sugar production, paper production and even wastewater treatment.
