Inconsistencies In Industrial Hemp Research

Heartland is creating relationships with universities and businesses to set the standard for hemp fiber research.

The format of hemp fiber matters. Unfortunately, researchers have suffered from a lack of consistency in the hemp materials they're testing. Heartland will provide top researchers with the resources they need to unlock the endless capabilities of industrial hemp fiber.

Different Data

Same Results

Regardless of the lack of continuity, the research is clear: hemp additives have a huge opportunity to positively impact the materials we use across industries.

Your Sustainability Partner

Throughout The Supply Chain

Farmer

Heartland partners with corn, wheat, and soy farmers to embed industrial hemp into their crop rotation. Our USDA Grant has given us unique insights into industrial hemp farming, regenerative agriculture, and carbon sequestration.

Compounder

Heartland partners with plastic compounders to augment talc, calcium, and glass without any retooling costs. Our Imperium masterbatch solves dust, flammability, bonding, and bulk density problems typically associated with bio-based additives.

Converter

Heartland partners with plastic converters to ensure the hemp-filled resin is processed properly. Our team works alongside component part manufacturers to process natural fiber-filled plastic with the same molds used today.

Brand
