Natural UD fabric?

Hi all.

I appreciate there are a number of woven options for natural fibres, but do we know of anything natural/sustainably and responsibly produced to add UD reinforcement to our layups?

Given the energy used to produce carbon and other fabrics, I wondered if we have alternatives available? Kenaf is something I’ve heard of ...?!?
Kind regards
