In this installment of CW Talks, we explore the world of natural fiber composites and their growing role in sustainable lightweighting with Christian Fischer, CEO and co-founder of Bcomp (Fribourg, Switzerland), a company specializing in high-performance natural fiber composites for automotive, motorsports, marine, aerospace and even satellite applications. What started as a garage project focused on lightweight skis has evolved into an award-winning technology now headed into series production with BMW M. Fischer discusses Bcomp's "race-to-road" strategy, the technical hurdles of scaling natural fibers for demanding markets and where flax-based composites fit — and don't fit — in the broader composites landscape.
