Hemp is a versatile crop with significant potential for sustainable industrial applications. Cultivated for its high cellulose content and low lignin levels, hemp is lightweight, flexible, and strong, making it suitable for various industries as environmental awareness increases.
Cultivation and Uses of Hemp: Hemp is grown for its fiber and human and animal consumption. The fiber from hemp is used to produce high-strength paper and textiles for various applications, ranging from industrial materials to consumer products. By utilizing the parts of the hemp plant that are not used for food, Tangho Green optimizes the value derived from each plant, ensuring no part of the crop goes to waste.
Tangho Green’s Commitment to Innovation: Tangho Green focuses on delivering high-performance, cost-efficient biomaterials from renewable sources. The company is dedicated to advancing the green economy by enhancing the circular economy while ensuring food security. With proprietary genetic evaluation protocols, Tangho Green optimizes natural fiber cultivation and raw material standardization, bridging agriculture and industry to build sustainable, renewable supply chains.
Versatility and Industrial Applications: Hemp’s versatility is evident in its wide range of industrial applications. Its high cellulose content and low lignin levels make it an ideal material for producing high-strength paper and textiles. Additionally, hemp fibers can be integrated into plastic composites, enhancing their strength and sustainability. Pellets made from hemp offer synergistic advantages when used alongside fiberglass, combining the renewable nature of hemp with the lightness and durability of composite materials.
Cooperative Model and Social Impact: With the recent approval of hemp in Brazil, Tangho Green plans to adopt a cooperative model with small farmers in the Northeast, where land is inexpensive, especially in semi-arid regions, and labor is abundant. The cooperative will participate in hemp processing, using equipment financed by Tangho Green, which will increase the value of the products sold by the cooperative. This initiative aims to significantly improve social indices in the region, promoting economic development and sustainability.
