Hempcrete & construction
What is hempcrete?
Direct answer
A bio-composite blend of hemp hurd, a lime-based binder, and water, placed into forms or spray-applied in assemblies designed for non-structural enclosure. It is valued for vapor permeability and carbon storytelling—not for replacing rebar concrete columns.
