Using jute to resolve the difficulties of vegetating the steep
faces of reinforced soil slopes would be helped if the salient technical
aspects were drawn together and published in a form more accessible to
users. For example, jute blended with synthetic fibres has been processed
on the existing non-woven production machinery at British Textile
Technology Group (BTTG), ManchesterA range of technical products of widely
varying properties and with weights from 100 to 2000gm per m2
and with thicknesses up to 60mm can be produced by this method.

Future Links
: The two seminars held in London and Geneva in 1997 under auspices
of JMDC forged links between all sides of industry which will be
instrumental in helping jute to be accepted and applied more widely in
environmental schemes. The clear need for concise technical information of
direct relevance to users was established and the next phase of the work
will address this.
