Hemp Fiber
Hemp fiber refers to the durable bast fibers and inner woody hurd of the hemp stalk, which serve as the raw material for textiles, biocomposites, and paper. Known for its incredible tensile strength and low environmental footprint, industrial hemp fiber is a versatile agricultural commodity used in high-performance applications ranging from automotive parts to sustainable fashion. Building a robust fiber supply chain is a foundational element in establishing Michigan’s bio-based manufacturing economy.
