Producing sustainable, carbon-negative insulation to revolutionize the construction industry.

• Industry leader: Largest U.S. company to bring sustainable hemp insulation to market.
• Carbon-negative impact: Production has offset over 1.2 million pounds of CO2.
• Fast-growing sales: HempWool sales up 200% year-to-date in 2024.

Hempitecture is leading the charge in creating sustainable, carbon-negative insulation solutions for the building industry. By using renewable and biobased materials, the company has developed HempWool®, a high-performance, non-toxic insulation product derived from hemp fibers. Hemp not only sequesters significant amounts of carbon dioxide during its growth but also regenerates soil and requires minimal water and chemical inputs. These qualities make HempWool an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional insulation, contributing to healthier homes and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with construction. Hempitecture’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is reflected in its partnerships with the U.S. Department of Energy and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, as well as its ambitious plan to expand production capacity with a second manufacturing facility on the East Coast.

The company has experienced remarkable growth, with HempWool sales up 200% year-to-date in 2024. Hempitecture’s vision extends beyond HempWool to developing a comprehensive range of sustainable building materials for whole-home solutions. With momentum from over $4.6 million raised in prior funding rounds and a growing network of distribution and e-commerce channels, Hempitecture is poised to revolutionize the construction industry by replacing harmful, carbon-intensive materials with eco-friendly, high-performance alternatives. By investing in Hempitecture, you join a mission to create healthier living spaces, restore rural agriculture, and combat climate change through innovative building solutions.
