Advancing Sustainable Concrete Through Bio‑Based Fiber Technology
For many years, Sika has been developing technologies that create measurable value across the entire construction value chain—from the responsible sourcing of raw materials and efficient manufacturing processes to product performance, durability, and end‑of‑life recyclability.
Within this framework, Sika has advanced bio‑based fiber technologies for concrete, supporting the transition toward more resource‑efficient and circular construction solutions.
Renewable Materials, Designed for Performance
The bio‑based fiber technology is based on plant‑derived cellulose fibers sourced from sustainably managed European forests.
SikaFiber®-200, to give an example, reflects Sika’s commitment to renewable raw materials, regional value creation, and reduced environmental impact. By replacing conventional fossil‑based synthetic fibers with fibers of natural origin, this innovative approach helps reduce plastic content in concrete while maintaining the high performance required for demanding construction applications. The result is a reinforcement solution that combines technical efficiency with improved environmental footprint.
