Hempire Building Materials Ltd have been developing solutions to address the problem of

CO2 emissions created by the manufacture of building materials.

We manufacture building materials made from sustainable materials sourced entirely from within the

British Isles that are suitable for use in the construction of zero carbon buildings.

We use industrial hemp as our main raw material. Cultivating hemp runs parallel with ‘green

future objectives’. Hemp requires little to no biocides, improves soil structure and fertility, and

also controls erosion. These positive attributes make hemp the ideal break crop for farmers.

Cultivating a hectare of hemp sequesters approx 10 tons of CO2 per annum.

Hemp is probably the most versatile crop known to man considering its wide variety of applications.

Hemp has been grown throughout the world for millennia and is still common throughout Eastern

Europe and China. With growing awareness of climate change, cultivating hemp is making a

comeback in the UK.

During the reign of Elizabeth I it was mandatory for farmers to grow hemp!

Introducing our new plaster product...Hempire skim plaster is a unique ready to use

plaster made from finely classified stem of the hemp plant and reacted with lime and

pozzolan in a novel process. It has been specifically designed to float over Hempire Building

Plaster to give a perfectly smooth finish. Hempire Skim can also be applied on other substrates.
