Green Lanes

What Green Lanes does

Green Lanes S.A. is a publicly listed Polish joint-stock company (KRS 0001072137) founded in 2019, headquartered in Tarnawatka, Poland with R&D operations in Lublin and a subsidiary in Turka. The firm is structured as a holding company over portfolio brands developing sustainable material alternatives to wood and petroleum-based plastics, using industrial hemp and other rapidly renewable annual plants as primary feedstock. Hemp is positioned for its carbon-sequestration properties (up to 25 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare annually) and its 150-day harvest cycle.

The company operates two core product lines. The True Green (registered subsidiary KRS 0001056603) is a hemp-straw-based hardwood substitute targeting furniture manufacturers and interior finishing companies, with international design recognitions including Dutch Design, Vienna Sustainability, Milano, and Seoul International awards. Pure Biopolymers is a hemp-based biopolymer blend — described as the world's first — developed in consortium with an undisclosed industry partner, with demonstrative film produced on industrial machines; the product is positioned as a biodegradable, home-compostable alternative to single-use plastics. Additional portfolio brands (Hempeat, Green Lanes Proteins) extend into hemp fiber processing and hemp-based protein applications.

The revenue model is B2B-direct to enterprise manufacturers, with hardware sales of sustainable materials and bespoke quote-based pricing. Distribution is conducted via direct outreach through the corporate website ([email protected]), phone, and a dedicated cooperation lead. Marketing channels consist of organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), investor relations content, and PR/earned media. The company has raised approximately 3.5 million PLN in March 2023 and an earlier round with JR Holding in August 2022. Governance includes a management board led by CEO Piotr Pietras with Vice President Jacek Kramarz, and a supervisory board chaired by Robert Mikulski.

Core offering

Green Lanes develops and sells sustainable material products derived from industrial hemp and other rapidly renewable annual plants, targeting B2B customers in the furniture, interior finishing, and packaging industries. Its two flagship offerings are The True Green, a hardwood substitute manufactured from processed hemp straw, and Pure Biopolymers, a hemp-based biopolymer blend used to produce biodegradable and home-compostable film as a substitute for single-use plastics.

Product overview

Green Lanes operates as a multi-product company focused on sustainable material innovations using rapidly renewable annual plants (primarily industrial hemp). The company develops two core product lines: The True Green (a wood substitute made from processed hemp straw for furniture and interior applications) and Pure Biopolymers (the world's first hemp-based biopolymer blend for film production as a plastic alternative). Both products leverage industrial hemp's high CO₂ absorption (up to 25 tonnes/hectare/year) and are positioned as environmentally sustainable alternatives to conventional wood and plastic materials. The company previously maintained portfolio brands including Hempeat, Green Lanes Proteins, and The True Green, with the latter now operated as a subsidiary company.

Products and services

• The True Green (Hemp-Based Hardwood Substitute) Wood substitute product manufactured from processed hemp straw and other annual plants, serving as a sustainable alternative to traditional hardwood for the furniture industry and interior finishes. The material offers favorable physico-mechanical properties, design flexibility, and a lower carbon footprint than conventional wood products. Hemp used in the product absorbs up to 25 tonnes of CO2 per hectare per year.
• Pure Biopolymers (Hemp-Based Biopolymer Blend) World's first hemp-based biopolymer blend developed for industrial film production as a biodegradable and home-compostable alternative to petroleum-based single-use plastics. The biobased formulation uses 100% plants and minerals that are by-products of the agri-food industry, targeting packaging producers serving food and consumer goods brands. 1 hectare of hemp can yield up to 37.5 tonnes of biopolymers, equivalent to 1,875 km of film or 3,750,000 units of 25L waste bags.
