项目摘要

• Biocomposite materials made from plant fibres and resin are a more sustainable alternative to plastic for manufacturing• Biocomposites are already widely used to make things that stay indoors such car interiors and musical instruments• The problem with biocomposites is the weather: roofs and vehicle panels are not made from them because plant fibres absorb water over time and lose their strength• Cellexcel has developed a novel process to make water-resistant biocomposites for outdoor applications, and has had good trial results using flax fibre as the raw material* Growing hemp absorbs 2-3 times more CO2 than growing flax, and hemp can be grown in much of the the UK without irrigation• Cellexcel's new project is to apply its process to hemp, preferably sourced from the UK, producing and testing a new biocomposite material from local sustainable sources• The new hemp-based biocomposite, known as "Cellexcellent", could replace plastic, fibre glass, carbon fibre and eventually steel in vehicle and building exteriors, greatly reducing their carbon footprint• Making body panels from Cellexcellent biocomposites will also enable lightweighting of next-generation vehicles, reducing CO2 emissions from both their manufacture and usage• All kinds of vehicles such as drones and agricultural autonomous vehicles can be made lightweight and strong from Cellexcellent-- without the plastic waste at end-of-life

•由植物纤维和树脂制成的生物复合材料是一种比塑料更具可持续性的制造替代品•生物复合材料已经广泛用于制造室内物品，如汽车内饰和乐器•生物复合材料的问题在于天气：屋顶和汽车板不是由他们,因为植物纤维吸收水分随时间和失去力量•Cellexcel已经开发了一个新的过程为户外防水biocomposites应用程序,并有很好的试验结果使用亚麻纤维作为原材料*麻吸收增长2 - 3倍的二氧化碳比种植亚麻,大麻可以生长在英国没有灌溉•Cellexcel的新项目是应用麻的过程,•这种新的以大麻为基础的生物复合材料，被称为“Cellexcellent”，可以取代汽车和建筑外墙的塑料、玻璃纤维、碳纤维，最终还可以取代钢铁，从而大大减少它们的碳足迹。•用Cellexcellent生物复合材料制造车身面板，也将使下一代汽车实现轻量化。•所有类型的车辆，如无人机和农业自动驾驶汽车，都可以用Cellexcellent制造出重量轻、强度高的产品，而且在使用寿命结束时不会产生塑料废物
