A sustainable, bio-composite building material made from the woody inner core of the hemp stalk (hemp hurds) mixed with a lime-based binder. It is lightweight, durable, and has excellent insulating properties, making it popular for use in eco-friendly construction. Unlike traditional concrete, hempcrete is not used for structural purposes but rather as an insulating material for walls, roofs, and floors.
