Hempcrete is a natural, eco-friendly building material offering superior insulation, durability, and fire resistance. Made from the inner woody core of the hemp plant, hempcrete helps regulate indoor temperatures, improves air quality, and absorbs CO2 over its lifetime, making it an ideal choice for sustainable construction.
A sustainable material
-
Hempcrete provides excellent thermal and sound insulation, helping to reduce energy consumption and create a more comfortable living environment.
-
Naturally resistant to fire and pests, hempcrete enhances the safety and longevity of homes, reducing the need for harmful chemical treatments.
-
Hempcrete actively absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, contributing to a carbon-negative building process and reducing the overall environmental footprint of construction.
Carbon negative construction
Our HempCon 3D uses 70% less concrete, absorbing more CO2 (14kg eq. CO2 per m2) than it emits—making it a superior, sustainable choice compared to wood and traditional concrete.
