Replacing fossil-based plastic materials is one of the great sustainability challenges we face today. Apple and RISE have developed a new type of low-density material based on the same type of wood pulp that is used for making paper products.
Reduce plastic usage with fibre-based foam
As environmental concerns grow and global regulations on plastic use are being issued, organisations needs to explore new strategies to reduce their use of fossil-based materials and help fight the plastic pollution crisis. Fibre-based foams offer a sustainable, high-performance alternative to petroleum-based foams, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and potentially contributing to lower carbon emissions.
Derived from renewable resources, fibre-based foams fulfill the demand for eco-friendly solutions across industries like automotive, construction, and packaging. Investing in fibre-foams is not just eco-conscious— it is a strategic step toward long-term resilience and market leadership in a greener future.
Partnering with RISE to further develop fibre-based foams provides industry with access to cutting-edge research, innovation, and expertise in sustainable materials.
We offer:
- Expertise in areas such as material selection, formulation, process development, and material performance testing
- State-of-the-art testing and pilot facilities
- Collaborative development opportunities
By working with RISE you can accelerate the commercialization of fibre-based foams, improve product performance, and meet the growing market demands for eco-friendly solutions, thus ensuring that you maintain your competitive edge.

- Projects and expertise
- Cellulose Foam
Through a joint undertaking with Apple an innovative, low-density, resilient, cellulose foam is being developed. - Foam materials of forestry side-streams
- Air filter from recycled bio-based materials - BioReFil
Many air filter materials are based on fossil raw materials. The main aim of this project was to further develop and construct bio-based filter materials, based on residual products from the brewery process and recycled cellulose.
