PLANT-BASED MATERIALS
40% of an American home is built with imported building materials. We're finding out that a lot of building materials are hazardous to our long-term health.
Our mission is to produce and deliver high-performance biomaterials that drive sustainability and efficiency across various industries, contributing to a greener future. For you, this means you not only get to contribute to a more sustainable future, but you also get to make more money through carbon credits and tax credits while doing it.
Whether it’s new construction or renovating, we can help you with you project.
Hempcrete Home Kit
Manufactured to meet building codes across the country. Reducing wasted and time to complete your project.
-
Made with hemp, lime, pozzolan, and water, our hempcrete is made to meet building codes in any municipality .
-
Blocks take around 28 days to cure offsite. They are then delivered to the job site ready to install.
-
Blocks can be made to meet your custom needs. Also, wall systems can be finished with different materials besides a stone finish
The Benefits of Hempcrete
1. Natural Insulation & Energy Efficiency
High R-value (thermal resistance) per inch
Reduces heating and cooling costs by up to 70%
Acts as a thermal mass: stores and releases heat slowly
Keeps interiors naturally cool in summer and warm in winter
2. Breathable & Moisture Regulating
Naturally regulates indoor humidity
Prevents condensation and mold growth
Eliminates need for synthetic vapor barriers
Promotes healthier indoor air quality
3. Fire Resistant
Non-flammable
Slows the spread of fire
Resists flame, smoke, and toxic fumes
Helps meet or exceed fire safety codes
4. Pest & Termite Resistant
Naturally repels termites and rodents
Does not provide food or nesting material for pests
Reduces long-term maintenance and pest control cost
5. Carbon Negative Material
Sequesters more CO₂ than it emits during production
Hemp absorbs CO₂ while growing
Locks carbon into the building envelope for decades
Helps meet green building and ESG goals
6. Durable & Strong (Over Time)
Hardens over time as the lime mineralizes
Becomes stronger and more stable
Resilient to natural aging, pests, and weather
7. Easy to Work With
Lightweight material
Non-toxic—no protective gear required during install
Can be cast in place or used in block/panel form
Great for retrofits and new builds alike
8. Acoustic Insulation
Excellent sound absorption
Ideal for urban infill, schools, and residential use
Reduces sound transmission between walls and from outside
9. Sustainable & Renewable
Made from hemp hurd, lime, and water
Hemp grows in 90–120 days
No off-gassing or VOCs
100% biodegradable at end of life
10. Healthier Indoor Environment
No toxins, VOCs, or synthetic materials
Naturally antimicrobial
Supports improved occupant well-being
FAQs
-
• Federal and State Incentives: Tax credits and incentives are often available for projects that incorporate sustainable materials, such as hemp-based construction. For example:
• Green Building Credits: Hempcrete can qualify as part of energy-efficient building projects.
• Agricultural Tax Credits: Farmers growing industrial hemp may qualify for subsidies and tax incentives.
• BioFiberBuild’s Approach: By focusing on eco-friendly solutions, we can help clients leverage these tax credits to reduce overall project costs.
Carbon credits are collected by trapping carbon in construction materials. We work with you to make sure your project meets the guidelines to collect high value carbon credits.

Hempcrete has been added to the 2024 ICC Residential Building code. It will be introduced in 2025 for ICC Commercial Building.
Our floor plans come ready to submit to building code officials. All designs meet 2024 ICC Residential Building standards and requirements.
-
Based on the project and the location, overall construction cost can be reduced up to 30%. *Each project will vary
-
Hempcrete is able to be exposed to water for days without damage. Once the water goes away, the hemp will dry out with no maintenance needed.
-
Hempcrete has the ability to get stronger after the construction is complete. It continues to gain strength by pulling carbon directly from the atmosphere and trapping it in the walls.
