Hemp Paper Facts
4× More Fiber Per Acre
One acre of hemp produces as much usable paper fiber as 4 acres of trees over a 20-year cycle. Hemp is simply a more efficient fiber source.
No Pesticides Required
Hemp grows densely enough to outcompete weeds naturally and is naturally resistant to most pests, eliminating the need for harmful chemical pesticides.
2× Stronger Paper
Hemp fibers are longer than wood fibers, creating a tighter bond during paper production. The result is paper that’s approximately twice as strong and more resistant to tearing.
8× More Recyclable
Hemp paper can be recycled up to 8 times compared to just 3 times for tree-based paper. The longer fibers maintain their integrity through more recycling cycles.
5,000+ Year History
Hemp was the original paper material. The oldest known paper, dating back over 2,000 years, was made from hemp. It was the standard paper fiber until the 19th century.
