The  (EuCIA, Brussel, Belgium) welcomes (Germany), a Bremen-based platform for sustainable material development and product incubation, to its Technical Section. This addition further enhances the Alliance’s mission to accelerate the industrial adoption of European-grown flax and hemp fibers in high-performance composite applications.

Circular Structures, together with its brands Greenboats (marine) and Greenlander (mobility), joins a diverse and growing network of more than 25 members, including fiber 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 real-world application of flax-based composites, with proven brand implementations such as Greenboats in marine and Greenlander in off-road mobility,” says Bruno Pech, innovation project manager at the Alliance. “Their addition reinforces the Alliance’s technical depth and strengthens our collective ability to meet industrial performance standards while reducing environmental impact.”

The Alliance Technical Section 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 Circular Structures, sustainable material incubation, panel production and open collaboration with third-party brands will contribute to these shared development efforts.
