The material is composed of residual streams from Dutch agricultural crops, including fiber hemp, flax, and other natural cellulose sources.

The material has a warm, fibrous structure that gives every creation a natural look. It is also surprisingly lightweight, making it suitable for applications where transport, ease of assembly, or weight saving play a role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"2234\" class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBiopanel can be processed accurately and sharply in the laser cutter.

Like MDF or plywood, the material allows for precise shapes to be cut, with a clean edge finish and minimal discoloration. Thanks to its flexibility and impact resistance, it is suitable for furniture, interior elements, wall panels, packaging, signage, and more. Especially in contexts where design, sustainability, and narrative come together, Fibernyl is a logical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3362\" data-end=\"3421\" class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBamboo: renewable hardwood with a warm appearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3423\" data-end=\"3706\" class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3423\" data-end=\"3433\"\u003eBamboo\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the fastest-renewing raw materials in the world.
