Hemp paper is one of the simplest things that we could do to
help reduce the environmental impact that our growing world will have. Hemp paper is a environmentally friendly
option compared to the wood pulp alternative.
To grow the raw materials for paper, wood needs an average
of 20-80yrs to grow to maturity. This long grow cycle makes wood ( as a source
of paper) unsustainable. We currently cut down close to a billion trees per
year and our forests simply can’t survive. Hemp has an incredibly rapid grow
cycle of 4-6months and can be cultivated during the off season of corn and
cotton and other agricultural staples.
