Hempcrete

Hempcrete is a construction material made from the inner fibers of the hemp plant mixed with a lime-based binder. It is lightweight, sustainable, and provides good insulation and moisture regulation. Unlike traditional concrete, Hempcrete is not load-bearing but is used as infill for walls, often in combination with a structural framework. It helps regulate indoor temperature and humidity while being environmentally friendly, as hemp grows quickly and absorbs carbon dioxide. Hempcrete is gaining popularity for eco-friendly building projects due to its renewable nature and energy efficiency.
