Hemp paper is made from hemp plant’s long or the short bast fiber (hurd or pulp). Fiber paper is thin, tough, brittle, and rough. Pulp paper is not as sturdy, but is easier to make, softer, denser, and desirable for most everyday purposes. The chemical composition of hemp hurds is similar to that of wood, making hemp a good choice as a raw material for manufacturing paper. The very first paper in the world was partly made from hemp, and as a plant, hemp is more suitable for paper as it has a higher cellulose and lower lignin content. …
All of us tend not to think much about where the paper we regularly use in our lives; in notebooks, office printer trays comes from. Paper, in all its various forms, affects the environment in a drastic manner. That’s because traditional paper is made from wood pulp. That pulp comes from freshly cut trees; around 16 percent are farmed, according to the Ecology Global Network.

Deforestation is a key contributor to human-caused climate change. When forests are cleared or burnt, they release the carbon they store.

Hemp is a unique crop that can help shape a better future for family farms for generations to come.

In addition, hemp is a lightweight fabric, which means that it is highly breathable, and it also effectively facilitates the passage of moisture from the skin to the atmosphere, so it is ideal for hot climates. …
