Hemp Wood Floors
The Environmental Benefits of Hemp Wood
Hemp is pretty much the best alternative to lumber with the smallest ecological footprint.
How is this so? While trees can take 50-100 years to grow, it only takes 6 months for industrial grade hemp to mature. But that's not all!
Key Environmental Advantages of Hemp Wood
- Hemp wood matures in as little as four months, compared to decades for hardwood trees, preventing deforestation and habitat loss.
- Hemp absorbs up to 15 tons of CO2 per hectare per year, acting as an effective carbon sink.
- Hemp requires about half as much water as cotton for equivalent yield, making it water-efficient.
- Hemp is naturally pest-resistant, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.
- The energy needed for hemp-based products is estimated to be one-fourth of that for wood pulp equivalents, lowering its energy footprint.
- The entire hemp plant is usable, leading to minimal waste in production.
