Hemcrete is a light concrete that is intended for insulation of walls, floors, and roofs. It is made primarily of hemp shiv and a lime binder.
"Fast growing hemp stores carbon during its growth and releases oxygen into the atmosphere. The overall CO2 balance for Tradical hemp and lime products is such that captured carbon is retained within the fabric of a building."
