AGRI'EXPO: exhibition dedicated to biosourcing at the Paris International Agricultural Show
AGRI'EXPO : an educational space around the biosourced!
What are biosourced products?
A biosourced product is a product made from raw materials of biological origin, that is to say coming from renewable resources of plant, animal or microbial origin, such as wood, plants, algae, wool, or even organic waste.
These products are used in multiple sectors, such as chemicals, the food industry, construction materials, cosmetics, clothing, etc.
Why biosourced products?
The main objective of using bio-based products is to reduce dependence on fossil resources, encourage more sustainable practices and limit environmental impact. For example, a bio-based plastic could be made from corn or sugar cane, rather than petroleum.
What the 2025 edition has in store for you:
The watchword of this new edition: more pedagogy, a global offer whose entry key is learning in a fun way.
AGRI'EXPO is an immersive journey with the Biosourced Labyrinth made up of 7 different centers, an educational activity on each of these centers, a materials library allowing you to touch the raw materials used in the manufacture of biosourced products and a painting workshop with algae-based paint...
7 poles are represented this year:
- Hemp: with Interchanvre
- Algae: with Algo
- Shell: with Friendly Frenchy
- Spent grain: with Bihur
- Wool: with the Tricolor Collective
- Linen: with Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp
- Fish skin: with Femer
This complete system will allow you to discover biosourced, test, experiment and learn about the biosourced sector in France, within a space designed with sustainable or reused materials.
Look back to the 2024 edition
With the support of the Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp
The Alliance for European Flax and Hemp is the only European agro-industrial organisation of reference on a global scale that federates all the actors of the European flax and hemp value chain.
The European Flax and Hemp Alliance has a triple mission: to inform members, brands and consumers, to support the European ecosystem and know-how, and to promote European flax and hemp as the preferred sustainable premium fibres worldwide. It brings together more than 10,000 companies across 16 European countries, and articulates its actions around the values of collective action, innovation, scientific validation and respect for people and the planet.
It works to raise the international profile of European flax and hemp, whose technical and environmental qualities inspire worldwide creation and offer new perspectives for industrial innovation. It guarantees the traceability of linen fibre through the EUROPEAN FLAX® and MASTERS OF LINEN® certifications.
The European Flax and Hemp Alliance is the new name of the CELC, an association created in 1951. Western Europe is the world's largest producer of flax fibre (France, Belgium and the Netherlands account for 80% of production).
