Hemp 101

Everything you need to know about hemp paper — from how it’s made to why it’s the future of sustainable packaging.

Hemp Paper Facts

57% Cellulose Content

Hemp contains 57% cellulose — the key ingredient in paper — compared to just 40-50% in wood. This means more usable fiber per harvest and less chemical processing.

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.
