HempForma.

Winner of the 1st NEB 2025 Champions Award in the category ‘Shaping a circular industrial ecosystem and supporting the life cycle concept’.

It transforms hemp grown in Lithuania (and also sourced from Ukrainian farmers) into eco-friendly, sustainable and biodegradable acoustic panels. The project applies circular economy principles, reconciling local agriculture, innovation in biomaterials and nature-inspired design (taking the structure of eagle owl feathers as a reference) to reduce the use of conventional materials with a high environmental impact and improve residential, public and commercial environments.

In addition, this initiative emphasises social inclusion and economic resilience: it revitalises traditional local industry, creates synergies with Ukrainian producers and designs acoustic solutions tailored to stimulation-sensitive spaces, such as those intended for neurodivergent people.
