HEMP

 

Hemp is widely employed in textile manufacturing for fibers, yarns, and fabrics, valued for durability and breathability. In construction, hemp-based materials – such as bricks, panels, and insulation – offer sustainable solutions with thermal and acoustic advantages. The design sector leverages hemp for furniture and innovative concepts, while the medical field utilizes it in cannabis-based therapeutic products. Hemp oil and hemp seeds play a role in both food and cosmetic formulations.
Through articles, interviews, and case studies, this section provides a comprehensive look at new markets and opportunities linked to hemp.

Lampoon introduces its e-commerce platform featuring hemp garments and fabrics under the Prototipo brand. It embraces a responsible approach to fashion, bridging the gap between consumers and the true value of hemp.
