About us
Topics
Textile industry
Circular Hemp e.V. is working to establish industrial hemp as a key material in modern textile production – from sustainable fibre production in Europe to innovative designs for fashion and technical textiles.
Our goal: textiles that combine style and responsibility and make a tangible contribution to environmental protection.
Building materials industry
Circular Hemp e.V. promotes research, development and use of these materials to realise sustainable, energy-efficient construction projects using regionally grown raw materials.
Industrial hemp thus offers not only ecological advantages, but also economic opportunities for agriculture, industry and trade.
Education, public awareness & social dialogue
We create platforms for workshops, lectures, exhibitions, and political education. Our goal is to re-establish industrial hemp as a raw material in the public awareness – in a fact-based, inclusive, and future-oriented manner.
Health, nutrition and cosmetics
We provide information about the diverse potential of industrial hemp for healthy nutrition and medical applications. Our focus is on education, access to scientific knowledge and educational formats that serve the common good.
Circular economy & public welfare-oriented business practices
Circular Hemp is committed to a resource-efficient future. We promote ideas and pilot projects that integrate industrial hemp into regional value chains – with a focus on ecological benefits, public welfare and social responsibility.
Law, advice & guidance
As an organisation, we help civil society initiatives, educational stakeholders, farmers and the industry to navigate the legal environment surrounding industrial hemp. This includes providing information, networking with experts and access to accredited sources.
Agriculture
Circular Hemp supports the cultivation of industrial hemp with a range of advisory services and promotes knowledge transfer between practice and research. Together with farmers, we are creating prospects for the regional cultivation of industrial hemp.

Circular Hemp e.V. as co-organiser of the delegation trip to France (Hauts-de-France)
February 26 – 27, 2026
‘From field to fibre – shaping the future with circular hemp value chains.’
Circular Hemp e.V. provided the impetus to bring together stakeholders from agriculture, industry, research and clusters in order to take a comprehensive look at the value chain of hemp: from the field to industrial applications.
This impulse is now taking concrete shape in the delegation trip.
Together with the Enterprise Europe Network and the leading clusters Clubtex and Euramaterials, a European format is being created that shows how the bioeconomy works in practice – scalable, industrial and cooperative.
