Circular Structures, a Bremen, Germany-based platform for sustainable composites development, has become the latest member of the Technical Section of the Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp.

This further enhances the mission of the alliance to accelerate the industrial adoption of European-grown flax and hemp fibres in high-performance composite applications.

Circular Structures joins a diverse and growing network of more than 25 members, including fibre growers, spinners, weavers, processors and solutions providers. Together, these partners span the entire value chain, from agriculture to advanced manufacturing, enabling a coordinated and scalable approach to sustainable material development.

“Circular Structures brings valuable expertise in engineering and the real-world application of flax-based composites, with its proven brand implementations such as Greenboats in marine and Greenlander in off-road mobility,” says Bruno Pech, Innovation Project Manager at the alliance. “Its addition reinforces the  technical depth of the alliance and strengthens our collective ability to meet industrial performance standards while reducing environmental impact. We are very happy to welcome them.”

The Technical Section of the alliance serves as a collaborative platform where members share data, validate materials and align on technical goals to overcome barriers to adoption, including performance validation, supply chain integration and market education. Through sustainable material incubation, panel production and open collaboration with third-party brands Circular Structures will contribute to these shared development efforts.

“Our strength lies in bringing together expertise from across the entire ecosystem,” says Julie Pariset, innovation and CSR director for the alliance. “By combining agricultural innovation with processing technologies and advanced applications, we are building a strong foundation for natural fibre composites in sectors like automotive, aerospace, wind energy and beyond.”
