FLURA Hemp: From Plant to Product
Hemp’s versatility spans many industries, offering renewable materials that reduce environmental impact without depleting forests or ecosystems. Hemp fiber can be recycled up to eight times compared to about three for wood, resulting in a much longer useful life for the material. As an upstream leader in seed genetics and agronomy, Flura helps enable downstream partners to turn this fast-growing plant into durable, high-performing hemp-based products.
These hemp-derived solutions can reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals and support healthier fields and soils.
Wood
Hemp reaches maturity in a matter of months rather than the decades required for timber, offering a fast-renewing alternative without sacrificing durability. When engineered into solid materials, hemp can match or exceed the hardness of traditional woods like white oak, making it exceptionally well-suited for flooring, cabinetry, paneling, and furniture. Hemp wood is a renewable resource that delivers lasting strength and natural durability while protecting forest ecosystems.
Roofing & Construction Products
Hemp fibers can be formed into strong, resilient materials for roofing and construction that stand up to weather and long-term use. Because hemp renews so quickly and requires fewer resource-intensive inputs, it reduces environmental impact in the building process while still delivering dependable performance.
Concrete (Hempcrete)
Hempcrete is made by combining the woody inner core of the hemp stalk, known as the hurd, with natural binders to form an insulating, moisture-regulating material that improves indoor comfort and energy use. Its low carbon footprint and ability to store carbon make it a practical option for sustainable construction.
Textiles
Hemp produces strong, breathable fibers that create textiles known for comfort and durability. Because hemp grows quickly and uses land efficiently, it supports a more sustainable approach to fabric production without compromising quality or feel.
Animal Feed
Hemp grain offers a nutrient-rich feed option with omega-3 fats, proteins, and all 9 essential amino acids that support animal health and reduce antibiotic dependance. As regulatory approvals expand, hemp-based ingredients can help diversify feed rations and give producers more flexibility in how they meet nutritional needs.
Cardboard & Paper
Hemp pulp contains long, durable fibers that produce strong, recyclable packaging and paper products. Because hemp can be harvested multiple times per year, it reduces dependence on tree-based fiber and supports more sustainable sourcing for paper and packaging.
