Are you looking for hemp hurd for sale in Australia?
Hemp hurd, also known as hemp shiv, is the soft, inner, woody core of the hemp stalk left after the outer fibre has been stripped away. This natural material is prized for its absorbency, lightness and strength, making it ideal for use in sustainable building materials such as hempcrete (hemplime), animal bedding and soil conditioning.
In construction, hemp hurd is combined with a lime based binder and water to create hempcrete. Hempcrete has many qualities starting with a high R-value (which means fantastic insulation), sound dampening, fire resistant to BAL FZ, vapour permeable, versatile….I’ll stop here but there is more! This carbon-storing material regulates temperature and humidity while locking away CO₂ for the life of the building.
As interest in low-carbon materials grows, demand for hemp hurd for sale in Australia has been rising steadily. While imported materials are playing their part, local producers and processors are scaling up to supply the construction and agricultural sectors with hurd, reducing the need for imported hurd (shiv) and strengthening regional economies.
