#8.) Plastic Products

Did you know that hemp plastic is said to be five times stiffer and 2.5 times stronger than polypropylene (PP) plastic? Or, that hemp plastic doesn’t pose the health and safety risks associated with other plastic materials like glass fibers? Because the hemp plant is so diverse, there are many different types of hemp plastic; from infused plastic to 100% biodegradable hemp plastic.

 

#9.) Butter

 

#10.) Nail Polish

 

#11.) Jeans

Imagine a pair of jeans that was so durable you could wear them for years to come. In fact, these jeans not only got comfier with each wash, they also were odor and water-resistant. Say hello to hemp jeans.

 

#12.) Surfboards

 

#13.) Milk

Hemp seeds soaked and ground in water produce hemp milk. A creamy texture containing no dairy, hemp milk is a refreshing and tasty treat. One 8-ounce glass supplies the body with Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Vitamin D, Iron and more. Unsweetened, vanilla, and even chocolate varieties are available.

 

#14.) Lotion

 

#15.) Paper

Did you know that 75-90% of all paper in the world was made with hemp fiber until 1883? From stationary to tea bags, hemp was used for most paper products. Both the long bast fiber and the short bast fiber (hurd or pulp) of the hemp plant can be used to make paper. Considering that only 30% of trees are cellulose and the other 70% must be removed in order to produce paper; hemp is a far superior option.

 

#16.) Diapers

 

#17.) Flour

Although too dense to be used as baking flour on its own, hemp flour when used in combination with other flours, (one to four ratio recommended) supplies the body with a nutritious boost. Hemp flour is made from hemp seeds. Which means it is jam-packed with nutrients like fiber and essential omega fatty acids. Hemp flour can even be consumed by individuals with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.

 

#18.) Bags

 

#19.) Animal food

Hemp meals provide livestock all the essential proteins for maximum health. Because hemp contains globular proteins (albumin and edistin) it’s easily digestible. While corn is usually the go-to substance for feed, cows cannot digest it without consuming antibiotics. Hemp, on the other hand, poses none of these health issues.

 

#20.) Canvas

 

#21.) Paint/Varnish

 

#22.) Shampoo

Many shampoos today strip hair of necessary oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Hemp oil is high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, both of which are effective for nourishing hair. In addition, hemp oil also possesses Vitamin E, which has shown to prevent hair loss by stimulating capillaries for better blood flow.
