Boosting your lightweight application with BEHtec bio-based materials

Weight reduction

-50%

Our bio-based materials are up to 50% lighter than conventional composite materials.

Reduce energy consumption, improve handling, and optimize performance without compromise.

Cost-efficient

-60%

Less waste due to material offcuts. Save up to 60% and avoid costs due to non recycable waste.

Our tailored prepreg manufacturing is automated at industrial scale - saving costs on manual activities.

Sustainable

-90%

Reduce your CO₂ footprint up to 90% with our bio-based materials and highly efficient manufacturing process.

We use renewable raw materials from regional production in Europe.

We are proud to have developed our research work at the University of Stuttgart into a successful EXIST research transfer project with the support of the Technology Transfer Initiative (TTI), the Innovation Campus Mobility of the Future (ICM) and the Transfer Center of the University of Stuttgart (TRACES).



Bio-based Materials

where Nature meets Engineering

We use renewable raw materials like flax and hemp, sourced regionally within Europe.
Our composites combine these natural fibers with bio-based resin systems to create lightweight, high-performance materials with a significantly lower environmental impact.

Thanks to the low density of natural fibers, our solutions reduce weight by up to 50% compared to aluminum and by around 30% compared to glass fiber-reinforced plastics – enabling more efficient, sustainable product design across industries.
