Market demand for durable products made with hemp fiber continues to grow, but still is not mainstream. Projects like Project PA Hemp Home and conferences like the US Hemp Building Summit are helping to overcome the lack of general awareness.
It takes a lot of work to help folks understand that hemp is NOT marijuana, to get past the confusion because of a long-held colloquial use of the wrong name for the wrong plant.
Hemp building products provide excellent opportunities to positively impact health outcomes. Project collaborator Parsons Healthy Materials Lab's website is a tremendous resource for healthy options which limit or eliminate the typical toxics which are in homes built with modern petrochemical-based materials such as vinyl siding, plastic sheathing, fiberglass insulation, and more.
