How to recognize a sustainable hemp product?
On average, it is estimated that producing one 1/8th of indoor flower adds 41 pounds of CO₂ into the atmosphere.
You wouldn't believe how much more it takes to make an ethanol extracted vape pen or tincture.
To keep moving the Industry forward we need to rethink the approach to every aspect of production. Currently the focus seems to be cultivation and packaging. But much of the carbon footprint can be traced to production.
Find out exactly how much it takes to produce a single vape cartridge and see how production has a massive impact on the environment. And how as a consumer you can demand better and as a producer show that you also care about the environment.
