At FiberTech Polymers we take pride in our efforts to establish new levels of environmental responsibility while delivering highly durable fiber reinforced composite products.

Since its inception in 1998, FiberTech has been on a mission to recycle worthless paper mill waste into valuable industrial and consumer products. The company's primary raw material is the waste from another recycling process and thereby actually recycles the waste stream from other recyclers. FiberTech uses the phrase THREECYCLING™ technology to describe its innovative process that takes recycling one step further. This waste stream has no other viable alternative use, and, in fact, millions of tons of this waste are produced worldwide and poured into landfills annually. It is believed that FiberTech has created the most environmentally responsible solution for this waste product.

In 2007, FiberTech diverted approximately 20 percent of all recycled cardboard waste in California that would otherwise have gone to landfills and used approximately 4 percent of the state's recycled high density polyethylene (“HDPE”) plastic bottles.
