As Parker says “Our passion is broader than hemp; it’s about bringing change to the way people treat the planet and hemp is a tool that people can use to do this. Whether you’re building with hemp, wearing it or eating it, hemp enables you to radically shrink your carbon footprint. We are definitely pioneering – ensuring that we have a triple bottom line approach that doesn’t just focus on profit, but on people and our planet in equal measure.”
Hemp grows up to 4 meters tall in just a few months. This speedy growth cycle and abundance of plant material makes it a highly renewable resource. The speed at which hemp grows also means that it absorbs a lot of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This helps to counter the effects of global warming and means that products made from hemp can be carbon neutral or even carbon negative.
Hemp is also eco-friendly because it does not require many pesticides or fertilizers when it grows. This means less pollution and less harsh or harmful chemicals ending up in our soil, air and water supply. Hemp’s extensive root system can even detoxify soil by absorbing contaminants like heavy metals.
Hemp is also incredibly versatile with thousands of potential applications. Just about part of the plant can be used, and the variety of applications is staggering. Everything from food, fuel and clothing to medicine, housing and so much more.
Even when we look at its uses outside of the medical, recreational, and dietary spheres, cannabis is used to make paper, plastic, building materials and much, much more. The amount of global research being put into the many, varied, possible applications of the cannabis plant and its positive impact on the many daunting global issues, makes it the obvious way forward, especially for a country blessed with the perfect circumstances needed for the plant to flourish. Literally nothing goes to waste.
Skin Creamery founder, Hannah Rubin had the following to say: “Philippa and her team have made the process of creating our roll-up bags so easy and simple. We were looking for an environmentally friendly packaging option to hold a select range of our skincare products and I am so happy and grateful that we found Hemporium to manage the process from start to finish. The turnaround time was amazing, the quality and craftsmanship were excellent and I would definitely recommend Philippa and her team for any eco-friendly packaging options."

The Cannabis Expo Experienced & Enjoyed
Walking into this year’s Cannabis Expo at the Grand West Casino I felt blown away. It was not due the infamous Cape Town wind but the sheer experience from point of entry being a well thought out tunnel of green leaves and welcoming ushers.
