Why hemp?
- One of the fastest growing plants on earth.
- Hemp can be grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides and fungicides and is suitable for growing close to surface water.
- Stores more carbon dioxide per hectare than any other forest plant or crop.
- Can be used in a variety of applications: bioplastics, building materials, foods and beverages, textiles, paper products, composites, biofuels, graphene substitutes etc.
Nordic hemp
- The climate in the Nordic region enables the use of the over-winter growing method - producing hemp fiber with better quality and characteristics compared to southern methods.
- The over-winter growing method significantly saves resources in crop drying and bleaching.
- Hemka is developing unique processing technologies, taking into account the specificities of Nordic hemp fiber properties.
