Building green: Local company using hemp concrete - By T.L. Hamilton, Conroe Courier, TX
Hemcrete could be the building material of the future — or the past, depending on how you look at it.
“It’s ironic how for a long time we were told that concrete is the best material for building walkways, and now its turned back to paving stones,” said Gail Moran, owner of Old World Exteriors, a building company.
“We’re cycling back to that traditional look and feel because it works better in some cases than the newer technology.”
Hemcrete, a building product made of hemp fiber and a lime binding agent, is another example of this irony.
The growth and cultivation of hemp, a cousin to the marijuana plant that lacks the latter’s psychoactive effects, is prohibited in the United States.------------------------------------------- posted 6:29 AM :: reference link ::
