This is a difficult post. 🌍🌊 As rising ocean temperatures fuel unprecedented hurricanes, the impact on our communities becomes increasingly severe. These storms threaten our infrastructure and economies, demanding urgent and innovative solutions. We're grateful for companies like AquaFence that are stepping up to meet these challenges with cutting-edge technology. Their solutions are helping to mitigate flood risks, protecting hospitals, and critical assets in areas vulnerable to extreme weather. Stay safe Florida. https://lnkd.in/g8mPp_7U #ClimateAction #InnovationForGood #SustainableTech #HurricanePreparedness #ResilientCommunities

📢 New Blog Alert Not all insulation materials are created equal, and some can introduce harmful chemicals and pollutants into your living space. Let’s dig in to what it means to have non-toxic insulation, why it matters, and the benefits it offers for both your health and the environment. #sustainability #greenbuilding #decarbonization https://lnkd.in/g95hj26m

"Hemp May Be The World's Greenest Building Materials" - Remodelista From HempWool to our past custom build projects, this article captures how Hempitecture is changing the tides of the built environment with hemp.

Fortunately, there are a number of biobased building material options emerging in the market. With each product, there are pros and cons. So how should you think about the choices that are best for you, and for the planet? In our latest blog article, we deep dive on comparing hemp fiber insulation to wood fiber insulation ⬇️⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gkxh9mjR

Hempitecture Founders Mattie Mead and Tommy Gibbons present to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in Washington D.C 🇺🇸 Hempitecture was selected for an interview with the DOE for a project under MESC, the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains. This program is designed to support small and medium-sized manufacturers in current and former coal communities that are focused on producing and recycling clean energy products, as well as investing in decarbonization at their facilities. Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and managed by the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC), the Advanced Manufacturing and Recycling Grant Program is intended to be a boon towards national decarbonization efforts while directly benefiting communities affected by fossil fuel transition. It was an honor to present our concept for revitalizing manufacturing industries with natural, hemp based fibers underneath the MESC Program. To read more: https://lnkd.in/gYKn5KEP

Hempitecture Named Finalist for RISE Innovation Award by INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry 🏆 The Technical Advisory Board of INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, has announced that Hempitecture has been named a finalist for the RISE Innovation Award for its product PlantPanel X. PlantPanel is a continuous rigid insulation with a density and fiber composition designed to maximize thermal performance as well as resist deflection for insulated rain screen cladding assemblies. It is 100% biobased and recycled content, and is classified as a "durable" nonwoven by INDA. To read the full Press Release 👇👇👇 https://lnkd.in/en_9Jw2t

The results are in, HempWool® Thermal Insulation is definitively Carbon Negative 💭🌎⚡ Hempitecture is proud to publish our Life Cycle Analysis for HempWool® in partnership with University of Idaho UI-Integrated Design Lab. This multi-year study considers a cradle to gate A1-A3 lifecycle, beginning at the farm where our raw materials are grown by hardworking farmers across the North West. It factors in our 100% renewable energy consumption, our production process, and even packaging. With all these factors considered, HempWool® stores more carbon than it releases, meaning it is carbon negative. Our products help turn our built environment, which is responsible for 40% of domestic carbon emissions, into a carbon storage device, upending the disproportionate impact that buildings have on our earth.
