It's In Our DNA

The Sustainable
Material Innovation

Imperium farming requires 20 times less water than cotton, solving one of the biggest problems with farming.

Imperium is the only crop that naturally makes soil more fertile, uses no chemicals, and provides an economic benefit to local farming communities.

Functionalizing Biology

Imperium has product consistency in particle size, aspect ratio, surface area, and moisture content.

Heartland has spent years understanding how to get Imperium to perform in modern manufacturing processes. Imperium is engineered to create unique performance that can't be seen from other mined or synthetic materials.

Material Agnostic

One Natural Fiber.
Infinite Applications.

Hemp fiber has a 10,000-year history of being a strong natural fiber. We have unlocked today's practical use cases.

Functionalizing natural fibers to perform in modern manufacturing processes is an engineering feat. Imperium unlocks thousands of applications to systematically reduce the global carbon footprint.

Unlocking Natural Fibers

Making The Impractical, Optimal

For the first time in history, it costs less to use sustainable materials in everyday products.

Heartland believes sustainability is a fancy term for efficiency. It is more sustainable to reduce the cost and time to make better products. 

No Retooling Costs

The Sustainable Path

Imperium can be used as a drop-in replacement for natural or synthetic materials. This allows manufacturers to develop carbon-negative products that cost less.

Why Heartland

Your Sustainability Partner

Your Farming Partner

Heartland partners with corn, wheat, and soy farmers to embed industrial hemp into their crop rotation. Our farming model enables us to promote local farming supporting local manufacturing.

Your Material Partner

Heartland partners with augmenting existing manufacturing materials without any retooling costs. Our Imperium masterbatch solves dust, flammability, bonding, and bulk density problems typically associated with bio-based additives.

Your Converting Partner

Heartland partners with raw material converters to ensure Imperium is processed properly. Our team works alongside finished goods manufacturers to process Imperium with no retooling of existing equipment.

Your Brand Partner

Heartland is the sustainability partner for brands on their journey to reduce their carbon footprint. Our team helps create stakeholder alignment so companies can effectively communicate the value of sustainable material innovation.

Regenerative Agriculture

Local Farming Empowering Local Manufacturing

Heartland is the market leader in industrial hemp production in the United States. Our team has designed a farming architecture with production costs 50% less than our competition with a clear path to agriculture carbon credits.
