Natural Fibre Biocomposites Lightweighting Decarbonisation Bcomp Automotive

Bcomp is pioneering sustainable lightweighting through high-performance bio-based materials. The Swiss company’s ampliTex™ technical fabrics offer a versatile array of options from dry fibres to prepregs, enabling large-scale back injection moulding, thermoplastic compression moulding, and low-volume prepreg applications.

What Makes Bcomp Different

Their powerRibs™ reinforcement grid, inspired by leaf veins, enables natural fibre parts to match the performance of metal and carbon fibre components — at a fraction of the weight and carbon footprint. The technology is already being adopted in automotive, aerospace, and sporting goods.

Why It Matters

Every kilogram of weight saved in a vehicle translates to lower CO₂ emissions over its lifetime. By replacing metal and carbon fibre with natural fibre composites, Bcomp is helping industries decarbonise without sacrificing performance.
