Biocomposites

DuraSense™ by Stora Enso:
Imagine plastics products changed for good

The need to replace fossil-based materials with renewables is more than a trend that comes and goes with the seasons. This is change for good. So imagine finding an easy and cost-efficient way to cut the environmental impact of every product in your portfolio.

DuraSense™ by Stora Enso is a wood-fibre biocomposite offering the mouldability of plastics and the strength and sustainability of wood, resulting in a reduced CO2 footprint by up to 80%. DuraSense™ is for companies seeking a high-performance, bio-based alternative to plastics.

Endless possibilities with DuraSense™ biocomposites

DuraSense™ offers new design opportunities using renewable resources from sustainably managed Nordic forests, certified according to a third-party Chain of Custody system. The material is suitable for a wide range of injection moulded products such as furniture, storage & logistics items, consumer goods, industrial components, automotive details and food contact plastics.

Smooth process and world class support

DuraSense™ is developed to match and surpass conventional plastics using your existing moulds with little or no change to production techniques. You can also combine fibres with recycled or bio-based polymers to further enhance environmental values.
