The Eco-LFT project will significantly reduce the weight and environmental impact of the plastic moulding compounds used to make critical car parts such as front-end modules, tailgates and door components. These parts are currently made with glass fibres which are relatively heavy and derived from non-renewable resources, and this project will develop new materials using natural flax fibres. These materials will reduce the environmental impact of the vehicle parts as they are derived from crop sources and improve fuel economy by reducing vehicle weight.

Eco-LFT 项目将显着减轻用于制造前端模块、后挡板和车门部件等关键汽车部件的塑料模塑料的重量和对环境的影响。这些部件目前由玻璃纤维制成，玻璃纤维相对较重且来自不可再生资源，该项目将使用天然亚麻纤维开发新材料。这些材料将减少车辆部件对环境的影响，因为它们来自农作物，并通过减轻车辆重量来提高燃油经济性。
