Remember we had that chat a while back about straw bale vehicle storage, and we discussed lime render being as tough as concrete for secure storage?
Hempcrete is here!!!
Our favourite plant is being used as a bonding fibre with lime to create a material as tough as concrete, and with better insulation! Hemp also locks in carbon when it grows (in East Anglia ;) so is actually carbon negative! The more you build, the more carbon you save, meaning building projects could be invested in by carbon offset companies - a massive emerging market.
