Environmental Benefits of Hemp Paper
We can all agree that when it comes to printing, finding more eco-friendly or sustainable options is paramount. Reducing global deforestation and holding tight the enviromental benefits is extremely important, not only because of our increasing carbon footprint, but also because of the ecological ramifications in terms of wildlife, etc.
Many of you have called us asking if we print on hemp paper, and we didn’t have the capability until NOW.
We know what you may be thinking…is this legal? Yes, it’s legal!
The Hemp plant is part of the cannabis family and has been legal in the United States since 2018 due to The Farm Bill.
Hemp paper can significantly help in saving forests.
Here are some mind-blowing stats from Ecological Agriculture Projects in Canada:
- 1 acre of hemp can produce the same amount of paper as 4 acres of trees!!!
- When making hemp paper, no dioxin-producing chlorine bleach is required
- Hemp paper can be recycled up to 7 to 8 times, compared with 3 times for wood pulp paper.
- Hemp returns up to 60% of the nutrients it takes from the soil, when dried in the field.
- In Kentucky, hemp was grown on the same land for 14 consecutive years and it was reported that there was NO soil depletion or reduction in yield.
- Hemp is cost-effective to grow since it requires no pesticides.
- Hemp is also relatively drought-resistant.
Regardless of your political views, hemp paper is also a more economical choice than using tree paper.
