Reinventing Construction: The First Hempcrete Block Plant In America

“We are making a building material out of hemp to build a better world.” – Art Du Chanvre

Hemp can grow anywhere, in any climate.

Hemp requires no herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, or insecticides to grow well.

Hemp can absorb 4x as much carbon dioxide in the air compared to trees.

Hemp helps detoxify and regenerate the soil.

Hempcrete makes the perfect building material. It is fireproof, immune to termites and naturally regulates humidity and temperature in a building.

Hemp stalks take only 4 months to mature, whereas trees take 20 to 80 years.

Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow.

So why don’t we ditch this whole “let’s destroy the forests our lives depend on to build things” nonsense, and instead build with hemp?

Help Build The First Hempcrete Block Plant In America

Art du Chanvre (which is french for “Art of Hemp”) is a wonderful initiative whose goal is to develop a system to make hempcrete accessible to everyone. They need our support to build the first hempcrete block plant in America, which would produce 1 million blocks per year, providing every builder the access to the amazing benefits of hemp construction. This could literally save our environment while reviving our economy in a sustainable way. What’s not to love about that?

Support their wonderful kickstarter campaign and help spread the world so that we can build a more sustainable world for generations to come!
