Industrial hemp is cultivated for its fibre. The fibres are long, light, flexible, strong, versatile and durable. BioComposites Group (BCG) has been using hemp to replace conventional materials such as glass fibre and plastic. The hemp provides a superior performance and reduced environmental impact. BCG has produced several products that have been successfully commercialized. Now they are ready to test a new product and they have sought out the Green Building Technology (GBT) applied research team at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) to explore their new concept. BCG products are made with the underutilized byproduct of the hemp plant. Their products are 100% biodegradable and fully compostable. They have been working on the development of hemp insulation for a year. They will be exploring the fire and thermal qualities of the product. They seek to exploit the extraordinary mechanical qualities of industrial hemp using a raw material grown, decorticate, cleaned and manufactured on the Alberta prairies. Using outcomes of research related to the binding qualities of natural fibres, they want to develop a hemp based insulation product that adheres to industry standards. Their hemp source is a raw material that was previously considered waste.

工业大麻因其纤维而种植。这种纤维长、轻、柔韧、结实、多功能且耐用。生物复合材料集团（BCG）一直在使用大麻来取代玻璃纤维和塑料等传统材料。大麻提供了上级性能和减少的环境影响。BCG已经生产了几种产品，并已成功商业化。 现在，他们准备测试一种新产品，他们已经找到了南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）的绿色建筑技术（GBT）应用研究团队来探索他们的新概念。BCG产品是用大麻植物未充分利用的副产品制成的。他们的产品100%可生物降解且完全可堆肥。 他们研究大麻绝缘材料已经有一年了。他们将探索产品的火和热特性。他们试图利用工业大麻的非凡机械品质，使用在阿尔伯塔大草原上种植、剥皮、清洁和制造的原材料。利用与天然纤维粘合质量相关的研究成果，他们希望开发一种符合行业标准的大麻绝缘产品。 他们的大麻来源是一种以前被认为是废物的原材料。
