Hemp, Inc. Featured in Globally Syndicated News Provider, United Press International, Discussing Industrial Applications for Bioplastics

Las Vegas, NV, Oct. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with bi-coastal processing centers, announced today the Company was featured in the renowned international news outlet, United Press International (UPI), discussing the hemp industry and how Hemp, Inc. is utilizing the crop beyond cannabidiol (CBD).

The UPI article titled, “Hemp hardwoods, bioplastics expand crop use beyond CBD” discusses the current state of the hemp industry and expectations for the future. The article promptly dives into the changing industry and the revised route some farmers are taking to meet the growing demand to fully utilize the newly legal crop’s full potential.

The article discusses the sprouting of businesses within various sectors of the hemp industry such as hemp-based hardwood and bioplastics. The hemp bioplastics industry is one Hemp, Inc. recently announced its entry into, marking it the Company’s third venture into the natural product’s market.

The article states, “The firm is milling a powdery bioplastic stock from hemp and kenaf — another natural-fiber plant. For now, the company imports from Europe hemp hurd, a byproduct of hemp processing, and grinds it with kenaf.”

In an interview with UPI, Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin discussed his excitement on entering this sector of the hemp industry, “I’m in heaven that we’re part of the supply chain to make bioplastic. I’ve been an environmentalist and eco-commando since I was in high school.”
Additionally, the article highlights the Company’s operations in both North Carolina, where the hemp bioplastics material is processed and the operations in Oregon, where the company’s processing facility extracts CBD oil.

An excerpt from the article states, “Before bioplastics companies can grow and experiment with hemp-based products, a pathway has to be built from the plant to the plastic, Perlowin said. There are too few hemp processing facilities to generate the raw materials needed by plastic companies, he said.”
Perlowin is quoted at the end of the UPI article explaining that Hemp, Inc. has one machine at the North Carolina processing facility for hemp bioplastics, but states there should be 200 others across the country to help fill the demand.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMP AND MARIJUANA
Hemp is completely different from marijuana in its function, cultivation and application. In cultivating marijuana, the plants are spaced far apart, and the male plants are destroyed to assure that they cannot seed the female plants, which would result in undesirable, less potent and less marketable, seeded marijuana buds. Hemp, on the other hand, is planted close together and commonly hermaphrodites, which creates an abundance of seeds, the main component of Hemp foods and supplements. The Hemp stalks are processed and used for fiber, composite, and other hemp based end products.
Hemp is used in variety of other applications that marijuana couldn’t possibly be used in. These include healthy dietary supplements, skin products, clothing, and accessories. Overall, hemp is known to have over 25,000 possible applications. Hemp products such as Hemp Milk, Hemp Cereal, and Hemp Oil are used by consumers every day.

HOW HEMP CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
Fiber – Hemp fiber can be used to make fabrics and textiles, rope and paper. The word ‘canvas’ actually derives from the word cannabis.
Fuel – While the industrial, medicinal and commercial properties of hemp have been known to mankind for a very long time, its benefits to the environment have just been realized in recent years. One of the compelling things hemp offers is fuel. With reserves of petroleum being depleted, it would be nice if we could have a fuel source which was reusable and which we could grow right here, making us completely energy independent.
Food – Hemp seeds are very nutritious and were first thought to be eaten by the Ancient Chinese and Indians. Hemp seeds have a nutty taste and can be eaten raw, ground up, sprouted, or made into dried sprout powder. Hemp seeds also contain a very beneficial oil that is high in unsaturated fatty acids, including an optimal 1:4 ratio of omega-3 to 6.

Building Material – Hemp can be made into a variety of building materials. These include concrete-like blocks called ‘hempcrete’, biodegradable plastics, and wood replacements. These materials have been used in the manufacture of many things, including electronics, cars and houses. In fact, the first American home made of hemp-based materials was completed in August 2010 in Asheville, North Carolina.
Biofuel – Remarkably, the oil from hemp seeds and stalks can also be made into biofuels such as Biodiesel — sometimes known as ‘hempoline’. While this biofuel can be used to power engines, it does take quite a lot of raw material to produce a substantial amount.
