BENEFITS AND CAPABILITIES
Sustainability
Tradical® Hemp Lime products are among the
most ecologically sound of building products.
Hemp does not require agrochemicals in its
cultivation. The hemp, in common with all
similar plants, transforms carbon dioxide
during its rapid growth and captures the
carbon, releasing the oxygen to atmosphere.
This has an immediate positive effect in
achieving the sequestration of the principal
greenhouse gas CO2.
The air lime based binders are formulated with
products that have lower energy demands in
manufacture and distribution. The lower kiln
temperatures and lower density of air limes
make the products less energy intensive than
other common alternatives. Carbonation
of the binder as it sets absorbs more of the
greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. Tradical®
Hemp Lime products can be used in place of or
alongside bricks and blocks, thus reducing the
energy required to form building walls, to the
benefit of the planet.
