Hempire Labs S.L. Calls For Investment To Advance Hemp Plastics In Construction

Hempire Labs S.L. is seeking funding for its industrial bioplastics startup, and capital firms interested in partnering with them are encouraged to contact their team for more information. This campaign is part of a broader effort to help the construction industry transition from petroleum-based plastics to more sustainable hemp bioplastics.

Single-use plastics continue to see widespread use in the construction industry, and they are among the most damaging contributors to environmental degradation, according to an article in Green Building Canada. Non-biodegradable plastic wraps, bags, containers, and polyethylene sheets can persist in the environment for centuries, while petroleum-based plastic adhesives often contain harmful chemicals that can leach into and contaminate the ground and water. Plastic that is disposed of in landfills or incinerated also releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, increasing the carbon footprint and contributing to global warming.

To reduce reliance on single-use plastics in construction, Hempire Labs S.L. has begun researching how hemp can be used to create more sustainable alternatives. Their current findings have suggested that hemp fibers can create strong and durable bioplastics that are 25% lighter than conventional plastics. When combined with the appropriate organic or synthetic polymers, hemp composites will also exhibit higher heat and impact resistance compared to petroleum-based products, making them suitable for both the construction and automotive industries.

Additionally, hemp bioplastics are more compostable than traditional plastics and will have minimal impact on the environment at the end of their life cycle. Moreover, hemp crops require minimal pesticides and contribute to soil nutrient cycling, reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers. Because of these factors, hemp is being increasingly adopted into eco-conscious industries – and it’s for this reason that Hempire Labs S.L. believes that investments into their research will be profitable for capital firms over the long term.

“We’re seeing hemp transform from a niche agricultural product into a versatile industrial resource,” says Paulina Molyneux-Webb, Head of Innovation at Hempire Labs. “We’re also seeing increased interest from manufacturers who previously hadn’t considered hemp as a viable material.”
