BUSINESS CONCEPT #312 - HEMPCRETE PREFABRICATION FACTORY
A plant manufacturing carbon-negative building blocks from industrial hemp grown on nitrate-leached dairy land to bioremediate soil.
This business manufactures carbon-negative hempcrete blocks and prefabricated panels using locally grown industrial hemp. We serve the sustainable construction industry and iwi-led housing developments, providing a healthy, fire-resistant, and high-thermal-mass alternative to traditional high-entropy building materials.
The Problem: Much of our regional dairy land is suffering from high entropy due to nitrate leaching, and our building industry relies on materials with high "embodied energy" that contribute to carbon emissions.
The Solution: We grow industrial hemp on these nitrate-leached lands to bioremediate the soil, then process that hemp into carbon-negative building blocks7. This creates a "negentropic" loop that cleans the earth while producing superior materials for the Circular Timber and Housing Hub.
