Why Hemp

Hemp yields are amongst the highest of any crop. The hemp crop requires no herbicides or pesticides. No part of the plant is wasted. Hemp fibres are tough, durable and incredibly versatile. For all these reasons and more, we believe that as the World weans itself off its current dependence on finite fossil-based raw materials, continuously renewable materials such as hemp will inevitably fill the gap.

All About Hemp

Hemp has been used as a source of fibre, fuel and nutrition for thousands of years, and has been described as the most widely grown crop in the World. Unfortunately, hemp has suffered a degree of infamy because of its association with the recreational drug cannabis. We are pleased to say that the varieties of industrial hemp grown today have been specially bred no have no drug content.

The Hemp Association

Hemcore, and now Hemp Technology, have been an active member of The European Industrial Hemp Association since its inception in 2005. The association was formed to promote the worldwide development of industrial hemp and to provide a reliable source of information and data on our industry.
