These composite elements offer a unique combination of strength and lightness, while reducing dependence on non-renewable materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps you've already heard of incorporating plant fibres into building materials? Hemp, an excellent acoustic and thermal insulator, is a component of choice for these materials. Strong and durable, it is used to insulate pitched roofs, wooden floors, ceilings, walls and facades, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of construction projects. In the automotive industry, some manufacturers (Peugeot, Mercedes-Benz, BMW) have adopted hemp-based plastics, particularly for insulating door panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bioplastiques_a_base_de_chanvre_un_pas_vers_un_avenir_plus_vert\"><\/span><strong>Hemp-based bioplastics, a step towards the future <\/strong>greener<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3b5ce1e2e51&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3b5ce1e2e51\" class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1-800x800.png\" alt=\"Hemp fibre, or hemp wool, is obtained from the stalk of the plant.\" class=\"wp-image-9675\" style=\"width:291px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1-860x860.png 860w, https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1-430x430.png 430w, https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1-700x700.png 700w, https:\/\/cannavie.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bioplastics are materials made entirely from renewable sources, such as plants. Traditional plastics, on the other hand, are made from petrochemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these bioplastics have qualities superior to those of conventional plastics. One of these is biocompatibility, which makes these bioplastics very useful, particularly in the medical and food sectors, where packaging materials need to be biocompatible and biodegradable.<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.actascientific.com\/ASMI\/pdf\/ASMI-02-0254.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00b9<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of biocompatibility applies to anything that is compatible with the development of living organisms. In materials science, it refers to the ability of materials not to interfere with or degrade the biological environment in which they are used (usually animals).<a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Biocompatibilit%C3%A9#:~:text=La%20notion%20de%20biocompatibilit%C3%A9%20s,les%20animaux%20le%20plus%20souvent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00b2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bioplastics are therefore at the forefront of sustainable innovation. One promising example is the development of biodegradable packaging films based on hemp plastic. Hemp, a renewable raw material, keeps temperature-sensitive goods warm or cold during transport. These films offer packaging performance comparable to that of traditional plastics, while decomposing naturally at the end of their life, thus avoiding plastic pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ce_quil_faut_retenir\"><\/span>Things to remember<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hemp is emerging as a key player in the quest for sustainable solutions for the future of our planet. From hemp-based composite plastics to bioplastics, the potential for hemp to shape a less polluting future is immense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The environmental benefits of hemp are many: fast growth, a low carbon footprint and minimal or non-existent use of pesticides. Thanks to its incredible robustness, it can be grown almost anywhere! In Belgium, the quality of our soil and the particularities of our climate suit it very well. We have local players who are launching initiatives to exploit the full potential of hemp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All these characteristics make hemp an ideal candidate for the production of environmentally-friendly plastics.
