The objective of the BioJUSTICE project is to develop low cost, lightweight, high performance natural fibre biocomposites by using inexpensive natural fibres and novel direct processing methods. Currently semi-structural biocomposites are almost exclusively based on flax which is relatively expensive, and woven yarn textiles which require several processing steps. This makes the materials expensive and difficult to justify for many industrial applications. BioJUSTICE will use low cost jute fibres and a direct, tape-based manufacturing method with minimum process steps. The new jute tapes will have similar cost and performance to glass fibres, along with lower weight and lower environmental impact. This will enable sustainable natural fibres to truly compete with glass fibres for the first time, significantly increasing their uptake in a range sectors including construction, automotive and sports.

BioJUSTICE项目的目标是通过使用廉价的天然纤维和新的直接加工方法来开发低成本、轻质、高性能的天然纤维生物复合材料。目前，半结构生物复合材料几乎完全基于相对昂贵的亚麻和需要几个加工步骤的编织纱线纺织品。这使得材料昂贵，难以证明许多工业应用的合理性。BioJUSTICE将使用低成本的黄麻纤维和直接的、基于胶带的制造方法，工艺步骤最少。新的黄麻带将具有与玻璃纤维相似的成本和性能，沿着更轻的重量和更低的环境影响。这将使可持续天然纤维首次真正与玻璃纤维竞争，大大提高其在建筑、汽车和体育等一系列领域的应用。
