Just had this brought to my attention by a post at Command Alkon.

Polypropylene is currently used as a synthetic fiber reinforcement in concrete and could be used in place of PVC. It is also used in geotextile applications. Jute would degrade and the remaining structure might not be strong enough to withstand its own weight.

Wrapping the material around a reinforcing steel cage might solve the reinforcing issue, but the material might be too pervious to protect the steel from rusting.

This is a very interesting material, but I see it primarily for short-term applications (less than 10 years). It is a take-off on the concept of placing a dry concrete mix into sacks, then stacking the sacks and soaking them with water. Very interesting for some applications, but it won't replace ready mixed concrete.

Kudos to the developers.
