Hemp-lime construction has come a long way \u2014 from early experiments in a garage to an officially recognized building material in the International Residential Code. Environmental Product Declarations, or EPDs, are changing how sustainability is measured in construction and what that means for hemp-based materials. And even when government funding for climate-forward projects gets cut, the people driving this industry keep finding ways to move forward. \u201cNow we have codes. We\u2019ve had a lot of progress and movement into making hemp-lime construction more of a realistic prospect rather than just a really good idea,\u201d Waddell said. We also discussed why EPDs are critical if hemp is going to be recognized for what it does best. Waddell explains that when hemp-based materials lock carbon into a building, that carbon stays out of the atmosphere for decades \u2014 a measurable climate benefit that current systems often overlook. \u201cTrapping carbon in a building keeps it out of the atmosphere \u2014 and that\u2019s a real benefit,\u201d he said. All that and more.
