​

• Recyclability – Hemp paper can be recycled up to 8 times, compared to just 3 times for paper made from wood pulp.

• Quick Turnaround – Hemp stalks take around 4 months to mature, while trees can take between 20 to 80 years.

• Low-Maintenance – It requires very little water, and depending on local rainfall amounts, sometimes no additional irrigation is necessary. It can also be grown without the aid of pesticides.

• Durability – Hemp paper is more durable than tree paper. Hemp paper does not yellow, crack, or deteriorate like tree paper.

• All-Natural – Hemp pulp does not require bleaching or as many chemicals as wood-pulp. It also does not require the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers to grow.

• Farmer’s Friend – Hemp can have a beneficial effect on soil by replenishing vital nutrients. In some areas, it is being grown on land to extract such pollutants as zinc and mercury from the soil. Its root system minimizes soil erosion. It can be planted repeatedly on the same land and is often used as a “rotation crop” to heal the soil between growing other crops.

• Biodegradable – Untreated hemp is completely biodegradable. Things like dye, toxic chemicals, blended fibers and trims can hinder biodegradability.
