/ 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.
