No additional water is required to irrigate hɛmp which makes it the ultimate regenerative crop for arid climates having little or no rain. With new disruptive technologies entering the market, the processing of hɛmp fibre also requires significantly less water usage and produces lower CO2 emissions than traditional methods.
Hɛmp has been scientifically proven to absorb more CO2 per hectare than any forest or commercial crop and is therefore the ideal carbon sink. In addition, the CO2 is permanently bonded within the fibre.
No harmful chemical fertilisers are used to grow hɛmp and traditionally hɛmp has also been grown to remove toxic metals and stabilize the soil in regions where there is a high chance of soil erosion.
Hɛmp is found growing wild in many parts of the world and doesn't require any insecticides or pesticides. It is biodiversity-friendly in terms of species numbers and in competition of nutrients with wildland.
Hɛmp textile fibre is 100% natural, bio-degradable & recyclable which means no harmful microplastics are released into landfills, water systems or oceans.
