That’s excellent news. To hear it can be made substantially loadbearing is extremely significant , and groundreaking. It augurs well for the future of building with Hempcrete.

It is expensive, labor-intensive, unfamiliar and it’s ‘benefits’ are marginal at best compared to other healthy or high-performance building methods. A super-insulated wall with blown cellulose is so much cheaper and easier to construct, and has a much lower (negative) carbon footprint. Or if you’re looking for a vapor-permeable ‘mass wall’, then cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a carbon-negative, prefabricated, structural, insulated mass wall which can be constructed super quickly and precisely. I’m all for alternative building strategies, but hempcrete has a long, uphill battle which will need to include a lot of innovation if it’s ever going to gain wider acceptance.

Hope to connect with more people in the industry!
