Baltic Hemp to Biochar (B2B): Harnessing Industrial Hemp Waste for Sustainable Textile

 

Project no.: 00928-2024

Project description:

The Baltic Hemp to Biochar (B2B) project aims to transform industrial hemp waste into biochar, a versatile material with applications in composites and textiles. Through collaboration between Sweden, Poland, and Lithuania, the project will explore innovative ways to use biochar in sustainable production processes, contributing to the circular bioeconomy. By converting hemp waste into valuable
resources, B2B addresses both waste reduction and carbon sequestration, promoting climate resilience.

Project funding:

Swedish Institute programme


Project results:

The project will enhance cross-border cooperation, knowledge sharing, and foster the development of eco-friendly materials that can replace fossil-based alternatives in textiles and other industries.
