Approach towards green fiber: Hemp fiber

Hemp is genetically different and distinguished by its use and chemical makeup. Hemp has long been cultivated for non-drug use in the production of industrial and other goods. Some estimate that the global market for hemp consists of more than 25, 000 products. It can be grown as a fiber, seed, or other dual-purpose crop. Hemp fibre is obtained from the bast of the plant, Cannabis Sativa L. It grows easily to a height of 4 meters without agrochemicals. Hemp is used to make rope, canvas and paper; it can also be woven to make linen-like fabric used in clothing, home furnishing textiles and floor coverings. It is also used to reinforce molded thermoplastics in the automobile industry.
