Trusted around the world as a robust, high-performance sustainable building system, hempcrete is simply 3 natural components:

wood core of the hemp plant + a lime-based binder + water.

HEMPcrete

Hempcrete, *a bio-based* *mass formed by the blending and fusing of separate particles of matter in one body.*
Hempcrete and concrete are both lime-based composites that can be installed or applied in similar manners. From there, the properties and characteristics of these two composite materials diverge. Hemp replaces stone as the aggregate. Due to differences in the lime-based mineral binder, Hempcrete has a greater vapor permeability and lower specific heat capacity than concrete, has insulation properties, and is not typically used structurally.

Hempcrete is poised to take the industry by storm. For good reason:

Hempcrete building systems:

insulate while providing thermal mass
relegate humidity
resist mold and rot
deter insects and vermin
have excellent acoustic performance
have the highest CO2 storing capacity of any building material
provide keys for natural plasters
are fireproof
