Todd File: Changing our impact on the environment

What most interests you about hemp and hemp building, and why?

Hemp Building has the potential to be one of the many ways we can change our impact on the environment. I see this as a way to be involved in the potential changes.

What was a win for your company in the past year?

The construction industry continues to perform above expectations. As in the old saying “a rising tide lifts all boats,” we have seen more interest in the use of lime in hemp building than ever before.

What is something about hemp building/construction/ processing you didn’t know a year ago?

The development of an ASTM Standard is in the works for hemp and lime, and it will help pave the way for continued increase in usage.

What challenges does the hemp building industry face that it must overcome in the next five years?

New technologies not only have to prove their performance, but they also must compete with current building products that do not want to lose market share.
