Seeking Hemp Paper in Canada

April 9, 2008 · 1 Comment

Hi. I’m part of my school’s environment club. We are trying to make the school less wasteful. Are there any companies in western Canada that produce and sell bulk hemp paper? Because we are trying to find out if the paper used in our shool can be replaced by something more environmental like hemp paper. Yvonne du Plessis

How to Harvest and Process?

April 7, 2008 · 3 Comments

My father is a farmer in North Eastern Europe and he’s interested in industrial hemp but no one knows much about harvesting or processing the crop. Where is the best place to find information for that, including ways of harvesting and machinery for further processing? Are there any farmers I could ask questions regarding aspects of growing industrial hemp? Indrek Mandmets

Industrial Hemp Investing Question

April 2, 2008 · 6 Comments

I am interested in supporting the industrial aspect of the hemp industry – production of paper, car interiors, upholstery stuffing, carpeting, work clothing, fuel, etc. – by investing in companies which manufacture these things from hemp. I am a  horticulturist who cares deeply about our earth’s health and see this as an opportunity to help. Could you please steer me in this direction? Robert Bourne
