Hemp And The Environment?
- Hemp grows to maturity in 100 days, is ideal in rotation and conditions the soil for future crops with its long root system
- Hemp requires little if any pesticides, herbicides and fungicides
- Hemp cultivation has been documented as being able to lift heavy metals from polluted soil
- Hemp is a compatible raw material for many industries due to its production of three raw materials, baste fibre, the hurd and the seed
- Hemp paper is of superior strength, and folding endurance, which will outlast wood pulp paper by a factor of ten. Hemp on an annual basis produces more pulp per acre than trees with considerably less risk involved
- Hemp construction materials are now widely used in France where houses are being built utilising hemp as a concrete substitute, and hemp medium density fibreboard (mdf) as an alternative to wood fibreboards
- Hemp hurd is largely cellulose and is able to produce biodegradable plastics
- Hemp biomass fuel produces no sulphur and can be effectively used as a relatively clean power source due to its 95% fuel to feed ratio
- Hemp eco products have a world wide consumer demand growing at over 100% per annum since 1990
