Bast Fibre Technologies Inc. (BFT) is a triple-bottom-line, cleantech fibre engineering firm manufacturing specialty natural fibres for applications throughout the nonwoven industry. Using advanced fibre processing technology, BFT transforms raw bast fibres from hemp and flax plants to meet the exacting standards required by nonwoven customers. With the inevitable transition away from synthetic materials, BFT fibres will become vitally important for the production of truly sustainable nonwovens ranging from cleaning wipes to personal care products. BFT fibres will become vitally important for the production of truly sustainable nonwovens. BFT’s proprietary processing technology carefully individualizes, softens and brightens bast fibres to meet stringent nonwoven technical standards. Critically, the intrinsic structure and function of the fibre is retained as it existed in the plant, allowing the performance advantages to be passed to the nonwoven fabric. BFT’s farm-to-fibre quality management system ensures performance and consistency by monitoring more than 100 critical process parameters throughout the supply chain and manufacturing process. Additionally, BFT’s technology enables the enhancement and customization of bast fibres for specific nonwoven end uses and customer requirements. BFT believes in the need for true sustainability that goes beyond climate neutrality to repair our planet. BFT creates truly natural fibres for nonwoven applications from annual, renewable bast crops that are biodegradable, compostable, and completely plastic free. By disrupting the traditional take-make-waste linear economy, BFT will allow global nonwovens companies to accelerate sustainability goals and work towards a circular zero-waste future. Working towards a circular zero-waste future. SUPPLY CHAIN BFT’s manufacturing facility is located in the North Rhine Westphalia region of Germany. Our hemp and linen feedstock is sourced from farms throughout Europe. BFT’s supply chain is built around driving regenerative agriculture practices that preserve biodiversity, eliminate waste, reduce chemical inputs, and save water. BFT currently offers two products: sero - premium hemp fibre Ideal for home and commercial wipes, fluid management applications (diapers, hygiene, mop heads etc.), and a variety of other nonwovens, BFT’s unique processing system yields hemp that is clean, strong, and consistent. Hemp applications. noval - specialty linen fibre Optimized for next-to-skin applications (baby wipes, make-up removers, topsheets, etc.) and processed specifically for nonwovens, linen fibre is an ideal choice for premium and luxury product applications. Among other custom fibre treatments, BFT’s cohesion enhancement technology makes it possible to create nonwovens that are made from 100% hemp fibre. Rigorously tested for quality and performance on global standard formation equipment, BFT fibre is delivered with a COA certifying average length, diameter, brightness, and other relevant characteristics. SOIL-TO-SOIL SUSTAINABILITY Replace & Repair: BFT believes in the need for sustainability that goes beyond climate neutrality and works to repair our planet. BFT’s 2R mission is to Replace plastic fibres in the global marketplace and Repair the planet by eliminating waste, capturing carbon and rebuilding soil. Plastic Free Nonwoven products are important to our health and wellbeing and it is BFT’s mission to help the industry transition to natural fibres. Our 2R strategy aims to Replace plastic in the manufacture of nonwoven items, and Repair the planet with natural and compostable materials. Tree Free We need diverse natural alternatives to supply the demand for plastic free products. As one of our greatest allies against climate change, forests are needed for more than the fibre they supply. Bast fibres are made from annually renewable crops that alleviate pressure on forests while absorbing carbon, revitalizing soils, and preserving biodiversity. Actual Plant Fibre BFT extracts the fibres found under the bark of bast plants. Our manufacturing process cleans, individualizes, and softens each fibre while maintaining its integral structure. Our fibre is not regenerated cellulosic fibre, and is 100% compostable. PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE BFT’s supply chain is built around driving regenerative agriculture practices that preserve biodiversity, eliminate waste, reduce chemical inputs, and save water. · The bast family of plants are some of nature’s most efficient carbon sequesterers. · Low input crop that is drought and disease resistant. · An effective rotation crop that restores and preserves soil nutrients to improve crop yield. · A co-product in whole-plant utilization program.
