Sustainability

The Challenge

The world's precious natural resources are being reduced at an alarming rate, and the damage done to the Earth from those products has reached crisis proportions. As a result, today's eco-conscious consumer is demanding that industries produce better, more sustainable products and services in order to reduce the massive amounts of pollution that is destroying our environment​.

Industrial hemp fiber and hurd will play a leading role in the monumental transformation of numerous industries such as farming, textiles, construction, paper, bio-plastics, all of which will thrive and grow while simultaneously solving some of the world's biggest environmental challenges for generations to come.

GREEN FARMING BENEFITS

Minimizing CO2 Emissions

▪ 1 acre of hemp absorbs an average of 10 tons of CO2, which compares to an average of 5.1 tons of CO2 emissions for a typical passenger vehicle.

▪ Panda’s 25,000 acres of hemp supply CO2 conversion is equivalent to taking 50,000 cars off the road annually.
