AB Linas : Member of European Flax-Linen and Hemp Alliance

We would like to remind you that company AB "Linas" is member of European Flax-Linen and Hemp Alliance and therefore all fabric and products produced in AB Linas are certificated with European flax. But do you know what advantage this certificate has?

A production of the fibre that is respectful of the environment:

• No irrigation*
• No GMO seeds
• A local rotational crop: excellent head of rotation
• Low use of fertilisers and pesticides; no defoliants
• Natural dew retting in the field
• 100% mechanical fibre production (scutching)
• ZERO WASTE fibre - all parts of the plant are used and valorised (fibre, shives, seed…)
  *Except in exceptional circumstances

The Life cycle assessment (LCA) of the European Flax™ scutched long fibre is already available (on https://news.europeanflax.com/LCA/)and in progress for the following transformation steps.

• A fibre produced in compliance with the rules of the International Labour Office;
• A 100% vegetable and vegan fibre.

Comfort, thermoregulation, moisture transfer, breathability.

It preserves, promotes and supports a European agricultural and industrial exception, its territorial origin and non-relocatable know-how. It is an ambitious global brand which is intended to be identified by the end consumer.

The European Flax™ certification guarantees a traceabilitythat is verified by an independent third-party organisation (certification body) for products made of pure linen or containing a minimum of 50% linen.
