Loadfloor using Coconut Felt

This loadfloor uses  coconut fiber agricultural waste for reinforcement of the polymer matrix. The coir fibers are carded and needle punched to create a mat and then calendered inline to achieve the desired thickness before being die-cut to shape and assembled with other components.  This provides income to farmers and reuses a material that otherwise would have little market usefulness.
