According to DSM the benefits of composite bridges for the end-customer and the environment are as follows. Composite bridges can be easily installed because of their low weight. This reduces installation time and potential disruption to traffic and people. Also the lower weight requires lighter foundations compared to bridges made in pure steel or concrete.

Because of their very nature, composite materials resist well water, heat and chemicals. Therefore these bridges only require limited maintenance (unlike steel bridges that need painting after some years of use). This saves time and cost, while again the impact on the environment and traffic is minimized.

For the bio-bridge project of Fibercore the novel Synolite™ 7500-N-1 resin of DSM is used. This is a high strength structural resin partly based on renewable raw materials. The resin can be easily converted through vacuum infusion manufacturing processes into composite components. It contains approximately 50 % bio raw materials.
