What if you chose hemp to build your house? A Belgian company produces bricks made from this plant. With this 100% natural material, it has met with some success in the world of construction, because it offers an ecological solution.
The properties of hemp are also very interesting in terms of insulation, whether thermal, water or acoustic.
The only downside currently is that the sector needs more hemp processing plants in Belgium. This is a real brake on the development of this sector, while it would make it possible to decarbonize a sector, that of construction, which is still responsible for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale.
