Description
The Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp (formerly known as the CELC, an association founded in 1951) is the only European agro-industrial organization that serves as a global reference and brings together all players in the European Flax-Linen and Hemp value chain.
Western Europe is the number one Flax-producing region in the world (France, Belgium, and the Netherlands account for 3/4 of production).
The Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp has a three-fold mission of informing members, brands, and consumers, supporting the European ecosystem and European expertise, and promoting European Flax-Linen and Hemp as the preferred sustainable premium fibres worldwide. It connects 10,000 businesses in 16 European countries and bases its work on the values of solidarity, innovation, scientific validation, and respect for people and planet.
It promotes an environment favourable to industry growth and strives to increase the international visibility of European Flax-Linen and Hemp. The technical and environmental properties of these plant fibres inspire global creation and open up new opportunities for industrial innovation.
The Alliance also guarantees the traceability of Flax fibre thanks to MASTERS OF FLAX FIBRES™ and MASTERS OF LINEN™ certifications.
