Hemp cinder block for building materials

This video showed up in my feed and it was pretty interesting, these guys made structural hemp blocks.

Fun watch and cool concept, especially if really has a net negative carbon footprint.

It is, I think the coolest part is the structure in em though that makes em load bearing. Hempcrete isn’t unique for sure, but the application is.

It’s a good way to put hemp to use. Imo hemp is more valuable as an industrial good compared to a medicinal one.

It’s truly badass

I like the hemp cinder blocks that are compressed w lime better than bricks I seen made w ton lime I think it was

Only downside I see is the 18-24 month lead time.

just a matter of scaling the fiber and hurd side to match what happened with the medicinal hemp side
