Sustainably Grown Hemp from Yorkshire

Hemp is a naturally zero-waste crop, and we embrace this principle by using every part of the plant to create a range of products:

• Hemp Shiv – A lightweight, absorbent material used for animal bedding and, when mixed with lime, a strong, breathable construction material
• Hemp Animal Bedding – Ultra-absorbent, low-dust bedding ideal for horses, livestock and small animals
• Hemp fibre pads – Breathable, compostable mats used in horticulture, packaging, insulation and more

Hemp shiv (or hurd) is the woody core of the hemp stalk. Once separated from the fibrous outer layer, it becomes a lightweight, absorbent, and cellulose-rich material ideal for sustainable construction.

In green building, hemp shiv is mixed with lime to form hempcrete—a natural, breathable insulation that regulates temperature and humidity while locking in carbon. It is mould- and pest-resistant, non-toxic, and used in a range of eco-friendly projects, including homes featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs.

Hemp is widely used as animal bedding thanks to its:

• High absorbency, which keeps stalls drier and more hygienic
• Low dust content, ideal for animals with respiratory sensitivities
• Biodegradability, breaking down cleanly in composting systems
• Natural resistance to mould and pests, reducing the need for chemicals

Soft and cushioned, hemp bedding provides added comfort for horses, chickens, rabbits, and small pets. It’s a clean, sustainable alternative to wood shavings or straw, increasingly favoured by eco-conscious farmers and pet owners.

Naturally durable, moisture-wicking, and breathable, hemp fibre is ideal for a range of industrial and commercial applications including:

• Textiles – A sustainable raw material for non-woven fabrics.

• Equestrian and animal bedding – Due to its high absorbency, and natural resistance to mould and pests, hemp fibre is ideal for horses and small animals.
• Building materials – Blended with other fibres for acoustic and thermal insulation applications.

• Horticulture – Ideal for growing microgreens, seedlings, and hydroponic systems. The pads retain water while allowing air flow, supporting strong root growth.
• Packaging & Logistics – Used for thermal insulation, shock absorption, and humidity control when transporting temperature-sensitive or delicate items.
• Construction & Automotive – Effective thermal and acoustic insulation, offering a non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and sustainable solution for interiors.
