Farmers have cultivated hemp and used the agricultural crop for many centuries. A study from 2023 found that “ancestral archaeological relics date the use of this plant fiber as a fabric to approximately 8000 years before the common era (BCE) as a material in ancient Mesopotamia (present-day Iran and Iraq), and to 4000 years BCE and 3000 […] The post University Of Göttingen: Hemp Offers Sustainable Prospects For Agriculture appeared first on Int…

Study finds hemp fibres a viable cotton-compatible input for global textile chain

A recent scientific discovery reframes hemp fibre as a feasible, cotton-compatible input that may be spun using conventional equipment rather than as a specialised substance needing specialised infrastructure. The results have the potential to unleash value from agricultural waste streams and drastically lower obstacles for hemp in the global textile supply chain. Hemp by-products can […] The post Study finds hemp fibres a viable cotton-compatib…

Cottonized hemp fibers could help reshape the natural textiles market, study finds

A new research breakthrough reframes hemp fiber not as a niche material requiring dedicated infrastructure, but as a viable, cotton-compatible input that can be spun using standard machinery. The findings […]
