We sell to manufacturers, industrial processors, and builders who need a domestic, tariff-free alternative to wood chips, imported cellulose, and synthetic fiber. We are not a broker or marketplace. We supply by the metric ton, direct from American farms, with no overseas delays and no import exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNorth America's hemp fiber supply chain has a gap. We fill it.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufacturers across the US and Canada are replacing fiberglass, wood pulp, and synthetic fiber with industrial hemp — but most of the supply is still coming from overseas.

After harvest, stalks go through retting — either field retting (natural microbial breakdown of the pectin binding fiber to hurd) or water retting (submerged to accelerate separation). Retted stalks are mechanically processed through a decorticator, which breaks the stalk and separates bast from hurd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bast fiber is then cut to specification based on end application:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort-cut bast (6–25mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e — nonwoven fabrics, paper pulp, and composite reinforcement where uniform fiber distribution matters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-cut bast (25–100mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e — technical textiles, insulation batts, and structural composite applications where tensile strength and fiber continuity are priorities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaw long fiber (100mm+)\u003c\/strong\u003e — rope, cordage, and specialty textile manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTensile strength runs 550–900 MPa depending on retting method, decortication grade, and cut length.

It looks like small wood chips, is highly porous, and has strong absorbency and insulation properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat most buyers don't immediately recognize is that hemp hurd is a cellulosic material. Like wood pulp, cotton linter, and agricultural residues used in paper and composite manufacturing, hemp hurd is composed primarily of cellulose (around 40–45%), hemicellulose (approximately 18–24%), and lignin (approximately 22–28%). That composition makes it directly comparable to hardwood chips used in pulp and paper production — and in many applications, a drop-in substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere hemp hurd differs from wood-derived cellulose is in cycle time and yield. Hemp reaches harvest in 90–120 days versus decades for timber, and produces more usable cellulosic material per acre. For manufacturers sourcing cellulose for paper, composites, or biocomposite applications, hemp hurd is worth evaluating as a faster-cycling, lower-acreage feedstock with comparable chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecific applications for hemp hurd include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHempcrete\u003c\/strong\u003e — hemp hurd mixed with lime binder as infill insulation in timber-framed construction (R-2.5 per inch, hardens over decades)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnimal bedding\u003c\/strong\u003e — high absorbency and low dust make it a premium alternative to wood shavings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellulosic composites\u003c\/strong\u003e — used as filler or reinforcement in biocomposite panels and hemp-reinforced plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiodegradable packaging\u003c\/strong\u003e — molded fiber packaging and packing materials that compost rather than persist in landfill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorbent industrial materials\u003c\/strong\u003e — oil spill absorbents, industrial floor absorbents, and environmental remediation applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil amendment\u003c\/strong\u003e — high carbon content improves soil structure and water retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Gaia Green Fiber replaces in your production line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiberglass in insulation manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Hemp batt achieves R-3.5 per inch without VOC off-gassing, without requiring protective gear during installation, and with a carbon-negative feedstock.

Hemp hurd (hemp shiv) is the woody inner core — a cellulosic material composed of approximately 40–45% cellulose, 18–24% hemicellulose, and 22–28% lignin, comparable in chemistry to hardwood chips.
