Being a trendsetter in the development of wood fiber materials, Fiberdom has raised €3.5 million to further develop and scale its proprietary technology and high-performing, purely plastic-free material. Fiberdom aims at providing scalable, cyclical alternatives to non-essential plastics.
Fiberdom’s growth will be accelerated by funding from Heino Group, Nordic Foodtech VC, Holdix Oy, and a Business Finland grant. “This substantial investment, especially in today’s challenging funding environment, reflects the confidence our investors have in Fiberdom’s team and its capabilities, the potential of our supermaterial, technology, and mission. We have tested our material in numerous applications and discovered that it has massive potential,” elucidated Tomi Järvenpää, General Manager at Fiberdom. He continued, “The commitment from both long-term and new investors underscores the value of what we’re building—a future driven by smarter materials that deliver durability and high performance without plastic.”
“Replacing single-use plastics in food packaging and in serving and eating on-the-go food is one of the key pain points in the food system, both for the industry and for the consumers. Fiberdom’s technology addresses all four critical corners of a winning solution: functionality, scalability, sustainability, and recyclability. We believe the cutlery is a great starting point for much broader innovation in plastic-free products,” addresses Pekka Siivonen-Uotila, partner at Nordic Foodtech VC.
Due to changing preferences, commitments to sustainability, and regulations, the pulp and paper sector must create innovative solutions to reduce plastic use in non-essential areas. Fiberdom’s technology allows for replacing unnecessary plastics, cutting industry-wide plastic usage.
Demand for eco-friendly options and plastic-free regulations drive rapid growth in fiber-based packaging market, projected to reach $567 billion by 2034 from $407 billion in 2025. “This funding represents a pivotal moment for Fiberdom as we scale our breakthrough technology to address the growing global demand for truly alternative materials,” Järvenpää explains. “We’ve proven our technology works commercially, and now we’re ready to transform entire product categories through strategic partnerships with forward-thinking companies. The materials revolution is happening now, and this investment enables us to accelerate our mission of replacing non-essential plastics with superior material alternatives that deliver both environmental and performance benefits,” Järvenpää concludes.
Fiberdom, a Finnish company founded in 2019, creates a unique supermaterial from FSC-certified wood fibers. This plastic-free material is strong, lightweight, recyclable, and cost-effective. Their patented technology transforms wood fibers into a versatile supermaterial for food packaging, furniture, and more. Participating in collaborations to expand its reach, Fiberdom aims to promote a plastic-free, circular society.
