MELBOURNE, LONDON, PHOENIX - In a significant stride towards environmentally friendly building practices, Botanic Wellness, a leader in hemp-based innovations, is excited to announce its latest venture: The Hempcrete Initiative. This initiative seeks to adopt and adapt the benefits of hempcrete, an eco-friendly alternative to traditional concrete, fundamentally reshaping the construction landscape.

Currently, Botanic Wellness is concentrating its efforts on hemp cultivation, nearing its target of 20 hectares dedicated to supplying the raw materials required for the Hempcrete Initiative in Suriname. This groundbreaking project aims to build a community of twelve houses using sustainable hempcrete material.Hempcrete, made from the wood-like core of the hemp plant combined with a lime-based binder, has been gaining global recognition for its environmentally friendly properties.

Botanic Wellness's Initiative aims to bring this proven technology to Suriname, focusing on local sourcing and application to promote environmental conservation and sustainable development in construction, replacing almost all imported materials like Portland cement with local alternatives wherever possible.

This approach not only benefits the environment by reducing carbon footprint but also supports the local economy. Sourcing materials locally and engaging resident workers and companies in the construction process underscores Botanic Wellness' broader commitment to Suriname's holistic development. Jason Oran, Head of Farming at Botanic Wellness, leads The Hempcrete Initiative in partnership with Roots Agriculture. Oran shares Botanic Wellness' vision, stating, "Our role in The Hempcrete Initiative is not about reinventing but about innovating on implementation. We are focusing on the scalable application of hempcrete, from its use in insulation to creating entire hempcrete-based structures tailored to specific building codes and climates."

In Suriname, the project aims to demonstrate hempcrete's versatility through a pilot construction project, which includes building affordable housing using exclusively hempcrete materials. This endeavor is not only a testbed for the material's real-world applications but also serves as an educational platform to advocate for sustainable building techniques within the region. The choice of affordable housing reflects Botanic Wellness's commitment to fostering community engagement and economic development, highlighting the dual benefits of hempcrete in both construction and community enrichment. "Our initiative embodies the essence of Botanic Wellness - a blend of innovative, eco-friendly solutions with practical applications," Oran adds. "While hempcrete itself is not new, our approach to its application, especially in the context of Suriname and the potential scalability of this model globally, is what sets us apart."

The project represents a vital component of Botanic Wellness's broader vision for environmental consciousness and innovation. Through the Hemp-Crete Initiative, Botanic Wellness is not just focusing on the environmental impacts of construction but is also laying the foundation for future projects that will further cement their commitment to green technology and truly eco-friendly business practices.

Now in the process of determining proof of concept in Suriname, Botanic Wellness has aspirations to eventually farm 100 hectares of land and expand the application of hempcrete to projects in Australia and other South American countries, positioning themselves as leaders in eco-friendly construction across multiple regions. Botanic Wellness Innovations = A Better World.
