Plastic made from plants

Zelfo is an eco-logical, wood like, mouldable material processed solely out of plant fibres and water by means of a sustainable process.

Patented early in 2000 by a team based in Austria, it was not until Zelfo Australia that this material was developed for commercial production.

Suitable for use in various products because of its aesthetics, strength and ease of use. Due to its novel moulding process, rounded corners are easily incorporated into forms. We can of course also produce sharp edges.

True biodegradability* of the various fibres is also a bonus. The various fibres, such as hemp, flax, sugar-cane and waste paper are NOT blended with any resins or glues ensuring the eco-message is adhered to in full. This does not affect the strength which has been shown to be superior to many other types of plastics and wood.
