Developed by U.K.-based Lhoist Group, <A href="http://www.lhoist.co.uk/tradical/hemp-lime.html" title="Tradical® Hemcrete®" id="p.wj">Tradical® Hemcrete®</A> is a bio-composite, thermal walling material made from hemp, lime and water. What makes it carbon negative? There is more CO2 locked-up in the process of growing and harvesting of the hemp than is released in the production of the lime binder.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/08/24/hemcrete-carbon-negative-hemp-walls-7x-stronger-than-concrete/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.inhabitat.com/img/058745FA-96DA-4927-A4CC-A45E3C8E0C66" alt="sustainable design, green design, hemcrete, building materials, concrete, green building, architecture, carbon negative concrete, tradical" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/08/24/hemcrete-carbon-negative-hemp-walls-7x-stronger-than-concrete/"><P>Good looking, environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable, <A href="http://www.lhoist.co.uk/tradical/hemp-lime.html" title="Hemcrete®" id="iis1">Hemcrete®</A> is as versatile as it is sustainable.
