Sustainability
An Acre of Hemp will produce 4 times as much biomass as an acre of trees
Hemp uses less water to grow when compared to cotton,
saving our precious water resources.
Hemp has a lower embodied energy than Steel, Carbon Fiber, Fiber Glass, and potentially kiln dried wood as represented by the fabrication temperature for each material.
Hemp sequesters Carbon from the atmosphere during growth, and the Carbon is locked in the Fiber and Hurd state due to the manufacturing process used by Structural BioComposites to fabricate Industrial Hemp Lumber

Industrial Hemp Lumber is not just renewable, it is sustainable.
Hemp is an Annual Agricultural Plant
Harvestable in 120 Days
Tree Farm Maturity = 20 - 60 year harvest time
Old Growth Forest = 60 - 300 years (Diversity lost forever)
A forest is better left standing
Gouverneur Morris, the United States founding father who helped define the text and meaning of the U.S. Constitution, and gave the Preamble its unforgettable text: “We the People.”, wrote to Thomas Jefferson.
“A Fact well established in the System of Agriculture is that the best Hemp and the best Tobacco grow on the same Kind of Soil. The former Article is of first Necessity to the Commerce" ... "in other Words to the Wealth and Protection of the Country.”
