Hempcrete Block
Hemp as a construction material has been used for centuries across the world, but only recently the global construction industry has undergone a remarkable transformation, as sustainability and eco-consciousness have taken center stage. Architects, engineers, and builders are fervently seeking alternative building materials that not only reduce the environmental impact of construction but also provide many health benefits and energy efficiency.

Just one of the ways to install the block
Hemp in this home stores as much carbon as
305 trees in 1 year.
We achieved that by substituting products with high carbon emissions for carbon-negative materials.
Placing the block on the inside lowers operational carbon emissions, which means less energy spent to heat and cool the building and lower utility bills.
On the INTERIOR the block's THERMAL MASS absorbs the heat at day and releases it at night, thus lowering heating/cooling energy load.

We can lower the embodied carbon by replacing a product with high carbon emissions, like rigid foam, with a carbon-neutral product, like a COEXIST Block.
Finishes
Placed on the EXTERIOR, this block replaces polyiso insulation.
IT PREVENTS A THERMAL BRIDGE, LOWERS THE ENERGY BILL, AND LOWERS THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF THE STRUCTURE.

Hemp enables a scalable model of circular economy with local supply chain, renewable energy and regional production
Strategically positioned at the intersection of major roads
The electrified bio-composite block factory of the future is on the way
Designed to be scaled, this bio-composite micro-factory will be installed at multiple points across the US to create jobs, use local materials and supply the blocks with the least carbon footprint possible
The product of the future is here now and the world is listening:
