Modern Uses of Industrial Hemp

hemp | 1000's of uses

Whole Stalk:

1) Paper: Hemp paper does not need chlorine bleach in its manufacturing, does not yellow and lasts a long time, making it ideal for use in cigarette paper and bibles. Hemp's long, strong fibres also make it ideal for making durable cardboard and packaging. One acre of hemp can provide as much as four times as much pulp as an acre of trees, on a sustainable basis

 

  • Environmentally friendly paper
  • Packaging
  • Cardboard
  • Cigarette papers
  • Filters
  • Bibles
  • Newsprint

2) Energy & Environmental Products: Hemp produces a large amount of biomass, which can be converted into ethanol to be used as fuel as an environmentally friendly alternative to toxic petro-chemicals. The by-products from this process include foods, animal feeds, biochemicals, liquid fuels, organic chemicals and various materials, making it a much more attractive option to oil refineries.
