We can utilise natural fibre reinforcement, an alternative to traditional composite reinforcements. These provide a more sustainable, environmentally friendly way to reinforce composite laminates, particularly when used in conjunction with a high 'bio' content resin system.

Natural fibre composites are transforming motorsports and beyond. Natural fibre racing seats are being employed by such teams as McLaren is considered to be the very first Formula One.

The DTM opens the technical regulations to enable a shift from carbon fibre towards natural fibre on mandatory parts from the 2020 season onwards.

Notably, The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Club sport MR competes in the Nürburgring 24-hour race featuring a complete body kit made of natural fibre.
