The hemp industry had a resurgence in the mid 90’s and hasn’t made it fully into the mainstream yet. Most mainstream sources that offer solutions to climate change and the depletion of petroleum resources look elsewhere than hemp.
However, since 1994, Stemergy (www.stemergy.com) has used technology to find ways to use hemp fibers instead of petroleum based fibers in a range of applications. “We are in a new environmental and economic paradigm and renewable materials will continue to replace non-renewable resources in wide ranging applications.” stated company President Geofrey Kime, P.Eng.
Stemology could be one of the Canadian companies that takes advantage of hemp’s many benefits for economic and environmental gain.
