So I’m guessing you’re an insider and tested this?
Insider knowledge for what, EU's weird (and recently failed) attempt to label CF as a "hazardous material"?

There are a lot of shitty "green"-washed products out there.
Just because a company markets something a "green" doesn't make it good, or better than the alternative. Nor does it even guarantee that it's better for the environment. Only that a company wants to you think that they are "being green".

If linen-based composites were better than CF-based composites (lighter, stronger, cheaper), we would all be using them today. The reality is that they aren't, and so we don't.
