SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION: HEMP PLANT AND ZERO WASTE APPLICATIONS

Abstract

While zero waste projects form the cornerstones of a sustainable future, the hemp plant stands out as a concrete symbol of this approach. Hemp, which can be evaluated in its entirety starting from its roots, can be transformed into various parts without creating waste. Hemp, which is used in many areas such as textile, medicine, food, biocomposite, construction materials and energy production, is the strongest actor of the circular economy with its environmentally friendly features. For this reason, interest in the industrial use of hemp has increased again in recent years and legal regulations have been made regarding hemp production. In this study, the global hemp market was examined by considering the characteristics of the hemp plant, the prohibitions it has been subjected to throughout history and the changes experienced until today. In addition, since each part of hemp can be evaluated for various purposes and is a versatile and sustainable resource, its areas of use were investigated within the scope of zero waste studies.
