Achievements in Hemp-Based
Products
Many people don't
realize that hemp is legal and that hemp-based products have come a long way
since the industry's earlier days.
Although attempting to
grow hemp in the U.S. is still a bit of a bureaucratic nightmare thanks to
federal regulations that lump it together with THC-heavy marijuana, the
purchase and manufacture of hemp-based products is perfectly legal throughout
the States. While it’s still possible to
find the occasional hemp festival taking place in the parking lot of your local
health food store, undoubtedly offering a vast selection of sisal jewelry and
slightly weedy smelling lotions, there is actually a very bright future for
hemp in a wide variety of important sectors, from the construction of modern buildings
to the biofuel industry.
That isn't to say,
however, that hemp-based clothing, accessories and beauty products aren't
worthy of some positive attention.
Because these items are produced using a highly sustainable base
material, they are much more environmentally friendly than the products that
you'll normally find at major drug and department stores. And when you do find them at hemp festivals,
the good news is that they are very often locally made, also beneficial to the
environment, as well as to your local economy.
The most exciting news
about hemp though, is its potential for use in many products that generally
have a much larger impact on the planet.
Look for Hempcrete, a durable and breathable spray-on coating for
structures that is also fire- and pest- resistant. In many parts of the country, carpets and
rugs made from hemp have started to replace the traditional blends that were
once made from carbon-based materials.
These two examples are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to
recent achievements in the development of hemp-based products.
At this point, the only
thing that's keeping these products from being as sustainable in the U.S. as
they are for consumers in other countries is the difficulty with being able to
grow hemp within the U.S. borders.
Because it has to be shipped for long distances to get to manufacturers
in the States, there is automatically an environmental cost attached to it upon
its arrival. Lifting the federal ban on
growing hemp is the only way to allow the American public the same access to a
truly sustainable and useful plant that the rest of the world has been enjoying
for decades.
