Market ready for hemp? The president of Hemp Oil Canada explains why there is a worldwide market for hemp products. What Is It Good For? Hemp's handiness can be traced back hundreds of years. Here are a few examples of its myriad applications: • Paper -- The plant's long, strong fibers make it an alternative to timber for paper. The Declaration of Independence and first Gutenberg Bibles were drafted on hemp. • Construction -- Hemp's woody core makes a good source of boards for construction materials. • Auto parts -- The plant's fiber can be crafted into a composite that is used for interior automobile parts typically made of fiberglass or other materials. • Textiles -- For centuries, hemp fibers have been used for fabrics, both fine and coarse. • Body and health care products -- Oil from the seeds is used in lotions, balms and cosmetics. • Food -- The seeds and oil are high in protein and essential fatty acids and are used in a variety of edibles. • Ethanol -- Though the technology is embryonic at best, hemp's high cellulose content makes it a good candidate for biofuel production.
