Concrete block made with hemp
Hempcrete is a mixture of hemp hurds and lime (possibly including sand, pozzolans or cement) used as a material for construction and insulation[1]. It is easier to work than traditional lime mixes and acts as an insulator and moisture regulator. It lacks the strength and brittleness of cement and consequently does not need expansion joints. It is less dense than concrete and is marketed under names like Hemcrete, Canobiote, Canosmose, and Isochanvre.[2]
