From hemp waste to food absorbents: A sustainable solution
We are excited to share our latest research on developing innovative materials from hemp waste. Our work focuses on creating aerogels and cryogels, two versatile materials with a wide range of applications. By utilizing hemp waste, we’re not only creating valuable materials but also promoting sustainable practices. Hemp is a fast-growing plant that requires minimal resources, making it an ideal eco-friendly alternative. One surprising application of our hemp-derived materials is their use as absorbent pads for beef. This innovative approach can help improve food preservation and reduce waste in the meat industry.
