Flax-Linen & Hemp Expands Bio-Materials Presence

Bcomp’s JEC Innovation Award-winning flax components for BMW demonstrate new natural fiber composite applications.
The Paris-based Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp will expand its presence at JEC World 2026, joining the newly renamed and enlarged Bio-Materials Village in Hall 5. The space has grown more than 30% to 333 square meters and will host 14 Alliance members and partners representing the full natural fiber composite value chain.

New participants include Norafin, Biofibix and GreenPoxy by Sicomin, alongside returning innovators such as Bcomp and Safilin. Highlights include Bcomp’s JEC Innovation Award-winning flax composite components for BMW and Safilin’s Ecotrain rail interior project with Stratiforme.

Alliance experts will also lead a March 11 roundtable, “From Data to Applications,” on leveraging environmental and technical data to accelerate adoption of natural fiber composites. “This expanded showcase demonstrates the maturity, credibility and innovation capacity of Europe’s flax and hemp composites sector,” said Bruno Pech, innovation project manager at the Alliance.
