RE: Hey Appics Fam 🌿💭 The irony of fate wants it absolutely that I share with you today ...
wow for 3D printing? can you explain how💭? very interesting💚

Only one example:
The use of hemp as building material is a sustainable alternative to conventional materials. The Australian biotechnology company Mirreco develops 3D printed, climate-neutral hemp panels for floors, walls and roofs.
Hemp fibres are extremely robust and are becoming increasingly important as a building material. The Canadian company Hempearth presented the world's first aircraft built entirely from hemp. From the wings to the walls of the airplane to the seats and cushions, everything was made of hemp. It is powered by hemp biofuel.
A house made of hemp
Sustainability is not only a major issue for air travel. As a building material, hemp has the potential to significantly reduce the CO2 footprint of houses. In the Dutch town of Bosrijk, the first habitable houses built with 3D-printed hemp elements are now available.
According to the manufacturer, the 3D-printed hemp panels from Mirreco are structurally solid, easy to produce and offer superior thermal performance. The concept for a sustainable hemp house developed by the Australian company was designed by Perth-based architects Arcforms.
All floors, walls and roofs are made of hemp biomass. The houses made of hemp fibres can do even more. The windows are equipped with the latest technology, which allows light to pass through the glass and be converted into electricity.
The concept of the hemp houses is not only climate-neutral, but above all it should also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hemp can absorb considerable amounts of CO2 and is therefore an environmentally friendly building material that can make an important contribution to curbing immediate climate change. In order to meet the growing demand for concrete, the sand required for this is often harvested from river beds, destroying ecosystems and endangering plants, animals and fish.
The panels are produced by a huge 3D printer that applies the fibres layer by layer. The houses are not only sustainable, but are also meant to be thought-provoking. The construction method produces much less waste than the use of conventional building materials. Renewable alternatives like hemp could revolutionize the construction industry and have the potential to improve social, environmental and economic problems.

wow😍💥💚thanks for this great explanation
Wow! I had no clue about the many benefits of Hemp! Thanks for sharing and thanks @lonistellina for introducing the topic!
