HempFlax in Oude Pekela (NL) and Sebes (RO) focuses on the production and processing of sustainable resources, semi-finished and finished products made from ecologically grown fibre hemp and flax. By professionally improving the development and innovation of renewable natural fibre products, HempFlax stands at the outset of a sustainable industrial chain. This industrial production chain has its origins in sustainable agriculture. Through contract farming with crop farmers in the Netherlands and Germany HempFlax annually obtains fresh natural fibre, particularly fibre hemp. By marketing renewable resources HempFlax is a leader of this innovative industrial development. Its main target is to produce renewable resources for industrial finished products and consumer goods. It is with vision and innovative vigour that HempFlax adds content to the concept of agrification in the Netherlands. By making available renewable resources environmentally damaging synthetic fibres manufactured from fossil resources – such as nylon and plastics – can be replaced by fibres from renewable resources. By producing hemp wood for paper, construction material, saw dust and many other environmentally damaging consumer goods, HempFlax also discourages unnecessary logging and deforestation. HempFlax pays heed to distress signals indicating a decline in the quality of nature on Earth.

The GreenHome Institute, a DBA of the Alliance for Environmental Sustainability (AES) is a 501(c)3 non-profit with a mission to empower people to make healthier and more sustainable choices in the renovation and construction of the places we live.

The organization was awarded grants for green building education programs delivered throughout Michigan and in 2005 became one of the Michigan Energy Demonstration Centers. Since then we have educated over 30,000 people internationally to (re)build better. In 2008 the Wege Foundation funded our Executive Director position with a seed grant to start our LEED for Homes and Green Building programs and since then we have certified nearly 9,000 green homes.
