This new year let’s approach the idea of hemp with a new perspective.

Embrace Sustainability

Hemp has dominated the conversation surrounding sustainability for years now. Backed by science and empirical evidence, hemp’s connection to a sustainable lifestyle is undeniable. A few of the many real-world applications of this bold statement are:

  • Body Care – Hemp Seed Oil is widely used and desired in the body care industry. It is a sustainable and salubrious alternative to many of the harmful chemicals present in body care products such as soaps, shampoos, creams, oils etc.

  • Construction – Hemp innovation has taken things to the next level with Hempcrete. Hempcrete is used in the form of blocks for building foundations and wall plaster as well. Using hemp for building will absorb and trap excess carbon, further adding to the carbon negative society agenda that many countries are slowly adopting.
