Hemp Plastic

While corn, sugarcane and sugar beet are the most common materials that are used to make bioplastics, plastic made with hemp could well become the plastic of the future. The basic foundation of the traditional plastic that has flooded the marketplace is basically a cellulose derived from petroleum. These plastics can also be made from plant cellulose. The inner woody part of the hemp stalk, hemp hurd, happens to be about 80-85% cellulose.
