Hempcrete Croatia Hemp concrete as a new building material Hemp concrete
Conventional building methods have had an alternative for some time. The green one, more environmentally friendly. After wood, another material becomes important. It is industrial hemp whose chips are mixed with several types of lime, molded and dried. The final product is hemp concrete.
Hempcrete is used in green construction in a way to place a wooden structure that is filled with them. They are bound with lime. Their carbon dioxide (CO) emissions are zero, they do not contain traces of THC and they are completely compostable.
Testing on this hemp concrete lasted for two years, and during one it showed that it is non-flammable. At 800 degrees Celsius, this concrete decomposes but is not flammable.
Research has shown that it will not disintegrate even in an 8-magnitude earthquake, but only minor cracks will remain on it. Due to mixing with lime, it also has an antifungal effect, and successfully regulates the microclimate in the room – it absorbs excess moisture that it releases during dry periods.
Due to the manufacturing process and natural materials, it is slightly more expensive than classic blocks, but it provides a very good alternative for those who prefer green construction.

Developed 4 hemp-based insulation construction systems and one hemp wood-based wood replacement system (biopan) with biobinder.
All hemp insulation systems are without finishes (lime, clay) except the last one which is coated with various natural oils and waxes because it is enclosed inside eco plywood.

National Geographic Croatia – YELLOW FRAME
YELLOW FRAME WINNERS FOR 2020
2020 Yellow Frame winners announced for Sustainable Development, Science and Education
In somewhat different circumstances, recognition is given to the true guardians of the Earth, humanity and the future! The Yellow Frame for Sustainable Development, Science and Education 2020 awards ceremony was held online due to epidemiological measures.
In the Croatian Music Institute (which was damaged by the earthquake) the winners were announced by Hrvoje Prćić, editor-in-chief of National Geographic Croatia magazine. There was only one thought – although due to the situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic this year, there must have been no socializing together, the goals we all set for ourselves cannot and must not be missed.

Numerous individuals, companies, institutions and organizations had the opportunity to nominate projects, activities, products, people, businessmen, scientists, students, amateurs and professionals who best reflect, promote and support the goals of sustainable development in the knowledge society.
National Geographic Croatia, guided by the motto “inspire people to take care of their planet”, launched the Yellow Frame campaign, which promotes and presents 17 goals of sustainable development. Thus, every year we reward individuals, teams, companies and institutions that contribute the most to sustainability in Croatia.
Regardless of the ungrateful situation caused by the pandemic that has affected the whole world, more than 70 applications received in 17 categories of sustainable development is an indicator of positive changes, but also hope for a bright, sustainable future for our country.

It is this combination with other properties, such as resistance to mold and because it is a low allergen, that makes it excellent for use in everyday life.
In addition as a biocomposite, it can be produced to produce consumer products that are not only good for the environment but also durable.
It has a multi-purpose application and is a strong and insulating material.
