HempCrete Plant Based

Areas of Use:

• Insulation

• Wall Bricks

Ingredients:

• Hemphurd + Lime Based Binder

+ Water

It is a concrete-like material created from the woody inner fibres of the hemp plant. The fibres are bound with lime to create concrete-like shapes that are strong and light. Hemp concrete blocks are lightweight, dramatically reducing the energy used to transport the blocks.

Insulative ~R 2

Thermal Mass Density ~20/ft2

Vapor permeable

Thermal and humidity Regulation

Hempcrete is sturdy, has good thermal and acoustic insulation qualities and is fire resistant. Additionally, its biggest sustainable property is that it is CO2 negative, meaning it absorbs more CO2 than it emits. Hemp itself is a fast-growing and renewable resource.

• Clean Tools and surfaces with ethanol

• Take your GIY bag

• Use clean knife/scissors to open the bag

• Ass the substrate to a celan bowl and loosen the material

• Add 30 g of flour per 1 kg substrate

• Mix!

• Take the mold you want to grow mycelium in and celan it with ethanol

• Add substrate (make sure you push well in the corners to compact the substrate

• Cover the mold with a foil

• Pinch holes every 3 cm

• Let it grow between 3-5 days at 21-24 C

• Wait and observe white mycelium take over!

Mycellium

Areas of Use:

• Sound Insulation

• Insulation, supporting structures

Ingredients:

• GIY Material

• Flour

• Water

Mycelium is the ‘root network’ of mushrooms, which acts as a natural glue to bind biomass. It grows through the biomass, which functions simultaneously as a growth substrate and a biocomposite matrix. Different organic residual streams such as hemp shives, toilet paper residues or other agricultural waste can be used as substrate. Therefore, mycelium biocomposites are totally natural, non-toxic, biological materials which can be grown locally and can be composted after usage.

Mycelium can be used to make lightweight, inexpensive, and durable building materials, ranging from building blocks, styrofoam, wall tiles, and particle boards. The materials are biodegradable, strong, fire-resistant, and offer insulation power. It can also be used to create a bonding agent for
