As in years past, the (Paris, France) is hosting the Natural Fibers Village at JEC World 2025. The 250-square-meter space highlights the activities of the Alliance and nine of its members — Bcomp, Demgy, Depestele, Eco-Technilin, Flipts en Dobbels, Libeco, Norafin, Safilin and Terre de Lin and, for the first time, Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale Srl — which are exhibiting a wide range of flax and hemp raw materials and composite products.

Materials on display throughout the village include new services and products developed specifically for key automotive, architectural and industrial design applications such as:

• 2D woven flax reinforcements
• Roving
• Flax-based thermoplastic tapes
• Flax reinforcements produced from natural fibers and automotive industry waste
• Nonwoven reinforcements
• Bio-sourced flax fillers for automotive OEM structural parts.

Located at JEC’s Mobility planets, JEC Innovation Award finalist Bcomp and its partners Windicty, Arkema and NMG Europe, have the rComposite vertical wind blade on display. The structure is manufactured from recyclable materials, including a mix of glass, flax and recycled carbon fibers combined with thermoplastic resins.

Bcomp is also showcasing its collaboration with Temca at the Industrial Planet. Designed by Rudy Ricciotti and Roland Carta for Bouygues Bâtiment Sud-Est, and manufactured by Temca using Bcomp’s ampliTex, 880 cladding panels were created for the façade of the Cité Scolaire Internationale Jacques Chirac in Marseille.

Also located at the Industrial Planet, EcoTechnilin and Babolat have partnered to develop NF²-Tech for high-performance sports rackets. Prioritizing the technical advantages of flax fibers — such as enhanced vibration damping and improved comfort — this innovation, used across Babolat’s premium racket range, demonstrates flax’s ability to meet strict technical and industrial requirements.

Finally, as part of the JEC Composite Exchange program, Alliance experts Julie Pariset, innovation and CSR director, and Marie Demaegdt, sustainability director, with the support of Bruno Pech, innovation project manager, present a session entitled “Advancing European Flax-Linen & Hemp Composites: Innovations, Insights and Sustainable Pathways.” The session, held at the Agora Stage on March 4 at 4:30 p.m., explores the latest advancements in the European flax-linen and hemp composites sector, shedding light on its technical innovations, environmental contributions and strategic pathways for a more sustainable future.

JEC World 2025 is forming a key part of the Alliance’s acceleration of its sustainable transformation trajectory and includes updates on the evolution of flax-linen certifications, new environmental footprint tools and scientific validations on the technical properties of flax-linen.
