Most hemp production takes place in China although it is grown in many countries. Hemp fibers are separated from the stiff inner stick by a process called retting, where the thin hemp fibers are soaked to soften them and removed from the hard core. The fibers are longer than the flax plant and much coarser.

Used in particle board or fiber constructed boards by companies like Kirei.

Fibers used for coarse fabrics or blended with other fibers such as linen and cotton.

Used to make ropes and smaller fibers may be combined with plastics to create what are sometimes known as “plastic woods.”

The woody core of the stalk can be use to make bio-composites like Hempcrete construction or auto-body fabrication.

Biodegradable, pollution muncher that draws CO2 from the atmosphere, providing a benefit for the planet. Every ton of hemp stems contains 0.445 tons of carbon absorbed from the atmosphere.

Versatile in relation to the agricultural land it can be grown on and farmed with low impact on the environment. Needs little to no irrigation and requires not synthetic fertilizers. It replenishes vital nutrients and prevents erosion.

Long, strong and hollow fibers make it stronger and more durable than cotton. Abundant, good strength to weight ratio, high thermal conductivity, breathable and antimicrobial.
