Wood and natural fiber composites current trend in consumer goods and automotive parts

Is the “sleeping giant” of injection molding with wood and natural fibers still asleep, as there are still many obstacles to be overcome? Most pessimistic actors believe that there are too many barriers for the injection molding of bio-based composites at present. Still, there are many signs in the market that the use of natural fibers – and especially pulp and wood fiber use – has increased in injection molding and not only in Europe, and that it will further increase due to a lot of new market players, larger production capacity, better quality and lower market prices.
