USES
Industrial hemp produces thousands of sustainable,
eco-friendly products that will HEAL the World!
BUILDING MATERIALS
HEMP CRETE • BRICK • BOARD • INSULATION • PAINT
Non-Toxic | Mold Resistant | Fire Resistant | Pest Resistent
A hemp house is THE most healthiest and environmentally sustainable way of living. Hemp walls breath allowing humidity levels to stay at an optimally healthy level. Hemp walls sequester air pollution and CO2 and have a high thermal count thereby needing little to no heating or air conditioning systems. Using Hemp as a building material saves countless trees and eco-systems Worldwide. Hempcrete is stronger than concrete and there are no toxic chemicals used. Learn more at HempBuildMag.
FUELS
ending fossil fuel dependency
Petro for Cars | Fuel to Heat Homes | Lubrication for Engines
“Farming only 6% of the continental U.S. acreage with biomass [from hemp] crops would provide all of American’s gas and oil energy needs, ending dependence upon fossil fuels. Each acre of hemp would yield 1,000 gallons of methanol. Fuels from hemp, along with the recycling of paper, etc., would be enough to run America virtually without oil.”
~ Jack Herer, activist and author of “The Emperor Wears No Clothes"
Replaces all toxic and polluting plastics
There are many different types of hemp plastic; from standard plastics reinforced with hemp fibers, to a 100% hemp plastic made entirely from the hemp plant. Hemp plastic is recyclable and can be manufactured to be 100% biodegradable. The most common type of hemp plastics are those plastics which infuse hemp fibers, which make it more durable.

FABRICS
Clothes, Towels, Bedding, Rugs, Canvas, rope
Keeps bugs and perspiration away, anti-bacterial, UV protection
The physical advantages of hemp fiber are its length, strength, durability, elasticity, and ability to withstand high temperatures without degeneration, and withstanding rot, mildew, and insects. It is strong and very elastic and keeps its strength and gets softer as it ages. 70-90% of all rope, twine, and cordage were made from hemp until 1937 for this very reason. Hemp's long bast fiber can be spun into threads, yarn for rope, twine, cordage, heavy canvas, or knit, or woven into a variety of fine linen-like quality fabrics. It is a fast growing plant that needs no pesticides and uses half the water and acreage than cotton. ~ Leafly. Learn more from Barbara and Summer at EnviroTextiles.
PAPER
Newspapers | Copy Paper | Paper Towels | TP
Effectively Eliminates the Need to Cut Down Trees
Deforestation is a big problem. It has released an estimated 120 billion tons of CO2 into the air. Keeping trees alive and standing is necessary to our oxygen and fresh water supplies.
Hemp paper doesn't require toxic bleaching chemicals. The USDA reported in 1916 that one acre of hemp produces as much paper as four acres of trees annually, yet 70% of American forests have been destroyed since 1916. Less than 5% of virgin forest remain in the States. Learn more from Tree Free Hemp.
