Hempcrete: The Fire-Resistant Material That Locks Carbon
Hempcrete merges natural fire resistance with carbon sequestration and effective insulation to build safer, sustainable homes. Derived from hemp hurds, lime binder, and water, this material chars rather than burns, manages humidity, and boosts energy performance. Despite a modest initial cost increase, its longevity, comfort, and environmental benefits position it as a strategic choice for resilient, low-carbon architecture.
