Hempcrete
Hempcrete is a sustainable building material made from the inner fibers of the hemp plant mixed with a lime-based binder. It is lightweight, non-toxic, and provides excellent insulation, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional concrete. Hempcrete is not load-bearing, so it is typically used in combination with a structural frame.
This material is also known for its ability to regulate humidity and improve indoor air quality. Additionally, hemp grows quickly and requires fewer resources than many conventional crops, contributing to its appeal as a renewable resource in construction.
