Assessment of moisture and mould of hempcrete and straw panels
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021 Abstract At present buildings contribute a third of total greenhouse gas emissions. There is a need for sustainable solutions and natural materials, which offer low-embodied energy and their low impact has a promising potential as construction alternatives. Hempcrete is a lightweight insulation material, which provides natural, airtight,

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 1522-1531, October 2026.Abstract Hemp lime is a promising bio‐based building material, but its industrial adoption is hindered by variability in raw material quality and the absence of robust standardisation. This study characterises six hemp shive samples from different European origins (France, Germany, Poland, Turkey, and Ukraine) with respect to particle size distribution,

Hempcrete as a substrate for fungal growth under high humidity and variable temperature conditions
, 2023 Bio-based alternatives for existing construction materials can be used to reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment. Hempcrete is one of these materials and is both an excellent hygric/thermal regulator and is carbon negative.

SPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 4, October 2026.Processing of hemp hurd/HDPE‐ based biocomposites. ABSTRACT The biocomposites examined in this study utilize hemp hurd as the lignocellulosic biomass and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) as the thermoplastic matrix, with a 50 wt.% hurd content. Oxidized polyethylene (OPE) and ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM) rubber were incorporated at varying ...

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.This study assessed the industrial hemp value web resilience in the Swabian Alb, Southern Germany, where regional implementation remains limited despite hemp's bioeconomy potential. Using an indicator framework and stakeholder interviews, the research found the small, fluctuating cultivation area (e.g., 25 ha in 2024) focuses on hemp seed valorisation;
