Hemp – The Building Material of the Future?

The growth of cannabis and the surge of its products have been mind-blowing the past couple of years. CBD product sales are skyrocketing and analysts say the sales racked up to $6.5 billion in 2020. Large-scale production of hemp which is legal is also increasing and more investors are coming into the industry. This growth has allowed most manufacturers to focus mostly on the use of hemp for cannabinoids while sidelining other uses. One of the uses that have been sidelined is the use of hemp as a building material known as hempcrete.
