Small businesses

Help a corner shop swap from plastic to American hemp paper they can't afford yet.

Small purchase, massive ripple

$198 keeps a tree standing and funds a real cause. The rest is just math — hemp grows back in 120 days, trees take 80 years.

No greenwashing, no carbon-offset games. One donation, one tree, one cause, and the only fiber on the planet that actually heals the soil it came from.

218tons*

CO₂ absorbed every year

10,000 mature trees left standing pull ~218 metric tons of CO₂ out of the atmosphere annually — a carbon well that keeps working forever.

230tons*

CO₂ locked into hemp fields

The ~20 acres of hemp required to grow 10 million bags pulls another ~230 tons of CO₂ down into the soil each year — and rebuilds the dirt as it goes.

60homes*

Equivalent to powering…

~450 tons of CO₂ per year is roughly the same as powering 60 American homes — or taking ~100 gas cars off the road. For a year. Every year the trees keep standing.

120days*

Hemp grows back this fast

A tree takes 20–80 years to mature. Hemp reaches harvest in roughly 120 days. Same paper, same strength, zero deforestation — and the soil ends up healthier than before.

*Estimated. Based on U.S. Forest Service averages for tree CO₂ absorption, the EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, and the USDA Biobased Product Report on industrial hemp. Actual values vary by species, region, climate, and growing conditions.

The compounding effect

Hemp is how we quit the tree-paper habit.

We didn't start Hemp Paper Company because tree paper was evil. We started it because hemp is better — the strongest, fastest-growing, most soil-healing fiber on the planet. One acre of hemp produces as much paper as four acres of trees, in one tenth the time, on land that comes out cleaner than it started.

Every donation is a small bet on a bigger idea: you don't fix a 150-year-old industry by recycling harder. You fix it by scaling the thing that replaces it. One bag at a time. One tree left standing. One mill that runs on hemp, not pine.

    FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    Is this tax-deductible?

    Not yet. You're buying bags that we donate, not making a 501(c)(3) gift. We're building a deductible path and we'll post it the second it's real.

    When do the bags ship?

    We ship in batches to keep prices this low. You're funding a donation, not waiting on a delivery date.

    Why hemp instead of recycled paper?

    Recycled paper still requires trees somewhere upstream. Hemp grows back in 4 months, doesn't need pesticides, and rebuilds the soil it grew in. Every acre of hemp is an acre of woods that stays woods.

    Where are the bags made?

    In the USA. That's the whole answer.

    Are you making money on this?

    Almost nothing. The point isn't margin — it's the trees we save.

    Can I cancel a monthly donation?

    Yes — any time, one click.

    Who's behind this?
