It is good that the "wow" factor of Greenline material has settled down, so we can discuss the material in a more considered fashion than when it first came out.

Chris wrote "They also mention they use carbon fibre in the formula, but is this in small fragments or long lengths? All the fractures I've seen have a very uniform granular appearance and no signs of any fibres on the broken ends which I'd expect to see if it did have carbon fibre in the composition."

That is one thing that concerns me. What they should be doing is using LONG fibres of carbon fibre in the locations that are most likely to break. There seems to be zero evidence of that.

I doubt that very short fibres of carbon fibre in this composite would add to strength at all. So why are they there? Is it just because it sounds good in the marketing, adding a point of difference and pseudo high techiness. Added by marketing crew rather than any design engineers.

Presumably the grenadilla dust was added for the same marketing reasons, appealing to "greeny" concepts, and the false notion that this would have some effect on tone.

So that leaves this material with possibly no practical advantage over say ABS plastic or that other common polymer, hard rubber.
