The Mend’s hemp bags are a lightweight solution for secondary and retail packaging. These products are 8x recyclable as compared to tree paper (upto 3x), biodegradable and compostable. Hemp stalks take 4 months to mature compared to 20-80 years for trees. It has 85% cellulose, the principal ingredient in paper, compared to wood (30%). Made from hemp paper, these bags are a premium option and can be printed in different styles to ensure the design outcome is to your expectations.
The strategy with sensitivity to place and scale in order to sustain local communities and provide new job opportunities while preserving the quality of the environment and reducing your carbon footprint
Compost is a mixture that consists largely of decayed organic matter and is used for fertilizing and conditioning land. Something that is compostable can be used as compost when it decays. (From Merriam Webster)
Carbon negative emit less than zero carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) greenhouse gases. However, since it is impossible to emit a negative amount of carbon (or any other physical substance), being carbon negative refers to the net emissions you create. To be carbon negative means to offset more carbon, through carbon capture, sequestration, or avoidance, than you contribute to the environment.
Industrial composting can deal with a broader range of compostable products and operates in a highly controlled setting with specific temperatures and conditions. Industrial composting is able to apply a far higher temperature to the already pre-processed packaging material. The high heat breaks the packaging down even further, hastening the decomposition.
