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?
European Flax™ is the answer to consumer expectations and CSR requirements:
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.
Social and Ethical Responsibility
- A fibre produced in compliance with the rules of the International Labour Office;
- A 100% vegetable and vegan fibre.
A fibre with proven performance
Comfort, thermoregulation, moisture transfer, breathability.
European Flax™ is the quality visa for premium European fibre flax for all markets.
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 traceability that is verified by an independent third-party organisation (certification body) for products made of pure linen or containing a minimum of 50% linen.
