Hemp doesn't cost the Earth !

Hemp is an extremely eco-friendly crop. Hemp grows in a completely organic way. From itself, the plant is resistant against different kinds of harmful insects, the use of pesticides is superfluous!

Hemp grows really fast, weeds won't get any chance to survive. You don't need herbicides, in fact, they only pollute our soil and rivers.

Hemp is resistant against many botanical diseases. The biggest challenge are the birds, who quickly find their way to the field after sowing. They like the nutritious and tasty seeds. But the old farmer says: ‘the seed makes the birds sing', so we don't mind them.

All over the world the textile industry replaced hemp by cotton. That's a shame because cotton is one of the most polluting crops. It consumes 25% of the worldwide use of pesticides and needs more crop protection and fertilizers than hemp.

A T-shirt of 55% hemp instead of 100% cotton can save up to 3000 liters of water!

Hemp fibre was replaced by wood fibre as a raw material for paper. Hemp only needs four months to be fully grown, trees need 10 to 20 years to be so. Chopping a tree also means destroying an entire ecosystem. A hemp field produces around four times as much as rough fibre than a similar surface area of trees.

Hemp fibre has a lighter colour than the fibre of wood. The wood has to be bleached, this process heavily pollutes our rivers.

Every part of hemp can be used, there is minimal waste. A least 25 000 products can be made from it, replacing a lot of polluting petrochemical products used today. Hemp can be used to make biodegradable plastics and ecological fuels.
