This carbon negative building material is proven in the UK (the photo shown was of The Renewable House recently completed at the Building Research Establishment near Watford) and has been used in many houses, as well as passive temperature controlled warehouses for Adnams and The Wine Society and a new building for the Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth.Lime Technology are focussed on taking Hemcrete into the mainstream and are also likely to significantly expand other areas of hemp usage in the UK with major investment in the next 6-12 months.There is little new in this, as hemp has hundreds of legitimate uses which mankind have valued hugely over the centuries.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8180','Mike Roberts'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8180','Mike Roberts','Delighted to see the profile given to hemp; unfortunately the article understates the position of hemp in the UK market.The UK\'s largest hemp processing business, Hemcore, has just been bought by Lime Technology, who are one of the partners behind Hemcrete.
