WHY BUILD WITH HEMP?

One of the first crops known to man is making a massive comeback as regulations change around growing Industrial Hemp, and a completely untapped market is emerging for this ancient plant, specifically in bio-based building materials. Hemp can be hand-tamped into form-boards to create walls, made into bricks, sprayed into cavities, or formed into precast panels, although non-load bearing the material acts as insulation and as an interior and/or exterior surface to be finished or left exposed. These Hygroscopic “breathing systems” regulate our indoor environment to create comfortable, healthy living and work spaces free of the toxic elements that emanate from traditional construction materials.

CREATE YOUR HEALTHY HOME

Building a Healthy Hemp Home is just becoming a reality in the US as more growers and processors come online and make hemp building materials more readily available to consumers paralleling the demand for non-toxic building materials for an increasing number of people suffering from Sick Building Syndrome, or people simply valuing their health and the environment more than ever.

It is estimated that 70% of houses in America have mold issues, 28% of the population carry genes that put them at risk of mold-related health issues, and most people don't even realize their homes are making them sick.

HEMP FACTS:

100% Natural and Regenerates the Soil
Self-Regulating System that kills bacteria and is Mold-Resistant
Pest and Rodent Resistant (rodents, moths, termites)
Highly insulative and effective in every climate
Ability to store heat energy in walls to regulate a comfortable indoor environment
Fire-resistant and excellent thermal resistor in wildfire conditions
Can endure periodic wetting from floods and sustained high humidity conditions
Proven Acoustic and Sound Absorption properties (soundproofing)

HOW DOES HEMPCRETE COMPARE TO CONVENTIONAL INSULATION MATERIALS?

Affordable Insulation
Excellent moisture handling and Mold-Resistant
Agricultural by-product
Positive Environmental Impact
Non-Toxic Building Material
Good Thermal Performance
Soundproof
Fire Resistant
Pest and Rot Resistant

Hempcrete is fully breathable. It is hygroscopic, allowing water vapor to pass, creating a healthy airflow. This not only reduces the build-up of potentially toxic gasses indoors but prevents mold development as well. This is the first time in history that individuals have been so disconnected from Nature and confined inside our schools, workplaces and homes. The average person spends 95% of their life indoors. The buildings we spend our time in are often full of toxins such as pesticides, molds and many other harmful fumes from furniture, paint and carpet adhesives.

With many taking their overall health and wellness into more serious consideration, using a healthier building material, such as Hempcrete, may be a perfect solution for those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold. Hempcrete is a building material made from industrial hemp fibers mixed with lime and natural binders. It is durable, regenerative, and provides a stable and healthier option for our structures.

Build the future with hemp

Join us in the exclusive opportunity to be part of a movement towards regenerative bio-based building materials. Learn to create elegant, nature-aligned homes through education, agriculture, and trade skills. Build localized, economically viable models for a better future. Traditional insulation often harms the environment and health. Hempcrete, sourced from waste or by-products, offers an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution. Discover the transformative possibilities of essential hempcrete construction as we embark towards a positive and abundant future.

GLOBAL MARKET GROWTH

The global industrial hemp market size is expected to reach USD 16.75 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 16.8% with the rising demand for products from industries such as plastics, construction and textiles.

Changing regulations > Hemp building materials were officially approved in the model US residential building code and will be adopted nationally sometime by the end of 2023

Hemp homes are incredibly durable and have an estimated life span of up to 800 years, almost 8 times longer than the best modern-day homes. In addition, this organic material grows from seed to harvest in about four months while requiring much less water and agricultural inputs and cleaning the soil during its growth cycle.

Join us today and become part of a global movement for a regenerative future by bringing healthy, bio-based materials into the field of construction. Gain the skills and knowledge to create non-toxic homes that stand the test of time and be the change you wish to see.
