MASTERCLASS: BUILDING WITH HEMP
After a month off for COP26, we’re excited to be back with a masterclass in Building with Hemp, kicking off at 7pm on Thursday 2nd December. Hemp plants are low-maintenance and fast growing, taking only 100 days to reach full growth, and during the growth stage lock away up to 2 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of fibre harvested.Hemp has huge potential as a bio-material, from paper to plastics and in many different construction uses from insulation to structural elements.
