Hemp fibers are strong, durable, and renewable, making them attractive for sustainable paper production. Important Details: • 1 acre hemp ≈ 4 acres trees (pulp yield comparison) • Harvest cycle 3–4 months • Requires less pesticide use • Improves soil quality • Lower water consumption • Can be recycled multipl
