Insight: Hemp paper, a real solution to a real problem.
Everybody talks about the benefits of making paper from hemp. Here is a very brief summary:
From an hectare planted with hemp you can obtain 3 to 4 times more cellulose fiber per year than from a forest. Furthermore, you don’t require using pesticides or herbicides.
Hemp can be harvested four months after planting instead of the 10 to 20 years it takes for a tree to mature, depending on its species. Additionally, the cellulose content is 70% vs. 30% and with much less lignin.
