THIS IS HOW HEMP CAN SAVE THE PLANET FROM PLASTIC POLLUTION in

Despite welcome changes in the use of single use plastic bags in most supermarkets, we’re still buying groceries or vegetables in a plastic carrier bags regardless of what threat it poses to the environment and the planet as whole.  We do realize the how harmful plastic bags are for our environment, how it leads to plastic pollution, the devastating impact it has, but, what can we do about it?  We have to rely on supermarkets and food producers to provide alternatives made from materials which are like plastic but not exactly plastic.  We need something which comes from the earth and goes back to the earth; yes, we’re talking about Biodegradable Hemp Plastic which has the capability to save the planet from this growing menace.

More than 200 million tons of plastic bags are produced every year. Imagine the amount of damage we are doing to our environment as well as to our own existence! It is time for us to go green and plan for a better alternative which can actually save our earth from this rising problem of plastic.

“Necessity is the mother of invention!”  We need to think about an option if we want to live in a pollution-free environment for us and for our future generation. That very alternative is a plastic product made of hemp.

Hemp plastic, which we can already hail as the future of plastic, is made from the stalk of hemp plants. The hemp plant has cellulose in high quantity, which is necessary for plastic manufacturing.

How Hemp Plastic is Beneficial For The Planet

If you’re unaware about origination and advantages of hemp plastic, then let introduce you to the several characteristics of hemp plastics which set them apart from regular plastics and how it can protect the environment. Here are some of them:

1. Recyclable and Biodegradable

The worst part about conventional plastic is that they sit on the surface polluting both the land and watercourses.  No matter where you throw them, they will remains for hundreds of years and never decompose completely.  However, hemp plastic can decompose in just three to six months. Plus, hemp plastics are eco-friendly and hence you can recycle them too.

Many petroleum-based plastics invented this time are also recyclable, but these plastics contain toxic and harmful chemicals, for instance, Bisphenol- A (BPA).

2. Heat Resistant

Hemp plastics provide durable UV, thermal as well as dimensional stability. Most of them are, in fact, heat resistant. They are 2.5 times stronger than the conventional plastics made of polypropylene.

3. Non-toxic

Another reason to use hemp plastic is because it’s non-toxic benefits. It is free from BPA, unlike the conventional plastics consisting of endocrine disruptors.

BPA is extremely harmful to the human body and also to our hormonal system? If you ingest BPA by any chance, it creates a hormonal imbalance which may lead to cancerous tumors.

Hemp plastics are BPA free and are, therefore, non-toxic. It is free from endocrine disruptors. Also, during its production stage, hemp plastic never releases harmful toxic fumes at all.

Because of its environment-friendly characteristics, the use of biodegradable hemp plastic is incredibly endless and versatile. Here are some of its uses:

1. Hemp Building Material

Hemp plastics are now preferred as an alternative for different types of building materials; this includes the use of plastic, plasterboard, and even concrete. Since hemp plastics are safer to use and stronger than plasterboard, they can be a great substitute for conventional plastic products being used in building construction.

2. Hemp Paper Manufacturing

Hemp products aren’t just a good alternative for plastics, but trees too. To save earth and it’s essentials should be a mission for all of us right now. We know that to make papers, we need to cut down trees and it takes about 30 years for trees to get ready for paper manufacturing again.

Coming to the conclusion, we believe that hemp is a great alternative for conventional plastic. They can regenerate in just a few months and hence become a perfect material for manufacturing of papers as well. You might not know, but hemp has been used to produce paper since a long time.
