Introduction
Tradical® Hemcrete® is an innovative building material designed to lock away CO2 within wall constructions, creating buildings with better-than-zero carbon footprints. It is a cost-effective, mainstream green building product that aids in combating climate change by reducing energy needs and capturing CO2.

Specifications and Benefits
1. Thermal Performance: Tradical® Hemcrete® provides exceptional thermal performance and airtightness, eliminating the need for additional insulation. This results in minimal heating and cooling requirements.
2. CO2 Capture: The primary component, hemp, is a renewable crop that captures CO2, reducing emissions by 30-40% compared to traditional brick houses.
3. Compliance: It helps meet UK Government's zero carbon housing requirements and supports achieving high code levels in the Code for Sustainable Homes.
4. Versatility: Suitable for timber, concrete, or steel-framed buildings, from large developments to self-builds.
