Fibrestrap: Sustainable Cable Ties Are Coming To North America

We’ve partnered with sustainable cable tie pioneer EVLR International to introduce FibreStrap to North America.

FibreStrap is the world’s first fiber-based zip tie, designed to replace the traditional plastic cable tie when bundling, securing, or attaching items.

“We’re very pleased to partner with Atlantic Packaging to bring FibreStrap to the North America market,” said Tobias Bergarp, co-founder and CEO of EVLR International AB, the creators of FibreStrap. “Along with their team at A New Earth Project, Atlantic’s senior leadership has shown a sincere interest in working with us since we were first introduced, and we’re excited to get started in this important market.”

FibreStrap’s patented design makes it easy to replace current plastic zip tie solutions in nearly any industry. FibreStrap is made from sustainable forest products, reduces carbon emissions and water usage by more than 80 percent, and has the performance characteristics required by the most demanding applications.
