3 benefits of hemp cables

Why cannabis plants?!

Hemp is a classic crop that comes in different varieties. The useful hemp, which is also used for the cable sheaths, is also used mainly for the production of textiles and ropes. The water productivity is particularly sustainable. The reason: hemp absorbs water 6x more efficiently in biomass formation, compared to cotton.

Decisive is the THC content whether the plant falls under the narcotics law. This is the case when the THC value is 1% in the dry mass. Legal fiber or commercial hemp intended for medicinal purposes has a THC content of less than 0.2%.

The advantages of this sustainable sheathing material are:

• that they are 100 percent recyclable
• that energy consumption during production is significantly lower than for PVC materials.
• that supply chains are shorter, and the carbon footprint is reduced as a result.

And the cables also smell better than plastic! By the way: For every purchase of the well-wrapped cables, a tree is planted in South Africa by the non-profit organisation Trees for the Future.
