19 June 2025

Germany: 7116 hectares of construction hemp are under cultivation in Germany in the growing season for 2025. This represents a 22% year-on-year rise in the total area since the 2024 harvest. Brandenburg has the greatest acreage of any state, with 1500 hectares (21%).

Brandenburg-based Felde Fibres is investing ‘tens of millions’ of Euros in current capital expenditure in its production of hemp for the building materials and textile sectors.

Local press has reported that hemp demand continues on a long-term growth trajectory, despite nearly doubling in prices since the beginning of the on-going energy crisis in 2022.

Knauf Insulation to build mineral wool recycling plant

Written by Global Insulation staff
17 June 2025

Austria: Knauf Insulation will build a €30m, 10,000t/yr mineral wool recycling plant at Ferndorf in Villach, Carinthia. When commissioned in late 2026, the plant will recycle both glass and stone wool insulation. Kleine Zeitung Online News has reported that the process will consist of melting and granulation of the materials for use in subsequent insulation production.

The Austrian government will introduce a landfill ban for mineral wool from January 2027, but the country currently has no recycling plants for the material.
