Von Hanf

Description

German company (Schleswig-Holstein) that has industrialised hemp construction to make it accessible and scalable. Their range includes everything from hemp-lime blocks (Hemp Stones) to lightweight boards (Hemplith) that replace plasterboard, and acoustic panels (Silentlith). Their entire catalogue is carbon-negative, moisture-regulating and free of toxins.

/* Veredicto editorial. «Qué mejoraríamos» se retiró de la web el 10-sep-2026 (ver lib/ficha-editorial): la ficha enseña por qué elegimos un material, no lo que le falta. El dato sigue en Airtable y sigue siendo criterio de selección. */
Why we chose it

The Complete Ecosystem: They don't just sell an "eco product", they sell the solution for building an entire house without concrete or plastics. Their Hemplith boards are a real, biological alternative to plasterboard/drywall, something very difficult to find on the market with industrial quality.

Chosen by Descarboniza. No company pays for what we say about it.

Data source

EPD declarada (Schönthaler KBOB, EN 15804), unidad '1 kg (densidad media 300 kg/m³)', GWP A1–A3 = −0,258 kg CO₂eq/kg. Nota jul-2026: densidad de la ficha corregida 100→300 kg/m³ según la unidad declarada de la propia EPD — 100 kg/m³ era una densidad de lana/aislante de cáñamo, no del bloque de cáñamo-cal (≈300-350 kg/m³). Con ello el GWP por m³ pasa de −25,8 a −77,4 kg CO₂eq/m³.
