The announcement follows recent breakthroughs in sustainable hemp-based plastic alternatives for a number of industries, including the aerospace, automotive, renewable and sustainable energy, and digital printing sectors. Hempire Labs remains at the helm of the research and is currently developing bioplastics for industrial use, a project for which it is requesting capital funding.

National Geographic notes that plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental concerns globally. Increasing production of single-use, petroleum-based plastics has led to roughly eight million tons of plastic waste escaping into oceans, where they pollute both marine ecosystems and coastal nations. While these plastics are notorious for their slow decomposition rates, sunlight, wind, and wave action will eventually break the waste down into small particles known as microplastics, which are then spread around the world by ocean currents – posing health threats in addition to environmental threats.

As these growing issues have underscored the need for urgent action, Hempire Labs has begun researching sustainable plastic alternatives, and its studies suggest that bioplastics composed of hemp fibers contain high tensile strength and durability, making them comparable to steel. Additionally, hemp-based plastics are 25% more lightweight than their petroleum-based counterparts, a property that makes them suitable for a wide range of industries. Hemp bioplastics can also be manufactured using greener methods, reducing CO2 emissions, air and water pollution, and overall environmental waste.

Currently, Hempire Labs is developing products for multiple sectors. The company has found that hemp fiber composites can be used to create lightweight, high-strength aircraft components for the aerospace industry, eco-friendly car parts for the automotive industry, and wind turbines and solar panels for the renewable energy industry; they can also potentially replace steel in manufacturing. Researchers with the lab are now looking at applications in 3D printing, creating new avenues for advancements in hemp bioplastic technologies.
