OPPORTUNITY

The Pennsylvania Flax Project represents a strategic opportunity to capture value in the rapidly growing global flax fiber market while rebuilding critical domestic processing infrastructure. With the global flax fiber market valued at $631.4 million in 2024 and projected to reach $1.36 billion by 2033 (9.1% CAGR), demand for sustainable, natural fibers is accelerating across multiple high-value sectors.

Pennsylvania Flax Project is positioned to address a critical gap in the North American supply chain.

Fiber flax fits well into rotation on Pennsylvania's farms offering the potential of a high value crop for our region's farmers. The scale of our business plan is significant enough to sell into established markets and to encourage growth of an industry regionally reaching far beyond our own mill. 

Fiber flax is a sustainable product that touches several industry sectors. Processing fiber flax from field to spinnable fiber is a zero waste, 100% mechanical process yielding several commercially viable products, including:


Long line fiber 

  • Wet spun for fine linen

  • Bio-composites

Tow (or short fibers)

  • Spun into yarns

  • Made into twine

  • Used in paper making 

  • Bio-composites

Shive (the woody core of the flax plant)

  • Animal bedding 

  • Building panels and other construction composites 

  • Biofuel

  • Insulation

  • Bioplastics

We are building relationships with buyers at home and abroad in both established and emerging markets. We will be ready to sell the off-take from our mill as soon as we start production.
