Why Hemp?

ヘンプは日本でも古来から、さまざまな用途で利用されている繊維で 優れた能力を持ち、紫外線(UPF50+)を防ぎ、汚れがつきにくく、抗菌性が高く嫌な匂いを防ぎます。 吸水性、放熱性が高いので汗をかいてもすぐに乾きます。 耐久性に優れ、引っ張り強度では綿の8倍、耐久性で4倍の強度を持つ。 さらに濡れた時により強度が増すので、洗濯耐久性も高く、長くご愛用いただけます。 ヘンプは生育が非常に早く、密集して育てられるので収穫量が多く、輪作でき、土壌改善効果もあるので、他の作物も育てられます。 生育に必要な水量が少なく、コットンの約5分の１の水量でも育ちます。 雑草の生育を抑える効果があり、害虫にも強く、農薬が必要ありません。 CO2の削減率が高く、森林の木々の５倍ほどの能力を持ちます。

Hemp is a fiber that has been used for various purposes in Japan since ancient times. It has excellent properties, such as UV protection (UPF50+), resistance to stains, high antibacterial properties, and prevents unpleasant odors. It has high water absorption and heat dissipation properties, so it dries quickly even if you sweat. It is highly durable, with 8 times the tensile strength and 4 times the durability of cotton. It also becomes stronger when wet, so it is highly durable to washing and can be used for a long time.

Hemp grows very quickly and can be grown densely, resulting in high yields, and it can be rotated. It also has soil improvement effects, allowing other crops to be grown as well. Hemp requires little water to grow, with only one-fifth the amount of water that cotton requires. Hemp is effective in suppressing the growth of weeds and is resistant to pests, so no pesticides are required. It has a high CO2 reduction rate, about five times that of forest trees.
