Hemp - An Excellent Alternative to Plastic

“Aisslinger used heat to press together organic materials, like hemp, with a water-based glue, resulting in an eco-friendly composite. The composite is stiff, thin, and can be manufactured inexpensively, making it an excellent alternative to plastic.” - Fast Company

It seems hemp is proving to be an eco-friendly bio-composite stronger than plastic that can be used to make everything form chairs to cars. (Check out the Kestrel Teaser below.) Miracle plant? It just may be. 

 “unlike fiberglass, the hemp bio-composite is cheaper to produce and has fewer health risks connected with its manufacture.  It is also significantly lighter than glass-based composites traditionally used in racing cars” -FOX News
