July is National Hemp Month There are a range of applications for the versatile properties of such a sustainable plant to create eco-friendly products for various industries and applications. Recent conversations around sustainable alternatives to traditional practices has taken us into conversations around hempcrete. Hemp uses a low amount of water in its speedy growth, it can help to clean pollutants from the soil and also absorbs a larger amount of carbon dioxide than most plants, hemp is a sustainable choice for industrial farmers and is now being grown in Pembrokeshire for hempcrete. Some interesting facts on hemp: ·      Hempcrete is hemp mixed with limestone and water, to form a type of concrete that weighs just over 10% of normal concrete, it repels some vermin and acts as insulation and is breathable. ·      Hemp has the strongest and longest plant fibre in the world that is also resistant to abrasion and rot, contributing to its use for parachutes, ship rigging, baggage, military uniforms and more. ·      Hemp is a high yield product that, acre-for-acre, produces double the oil of peanuts or almost four times as much paper pulp as trees. ·      Hemp is frost tolerant and can grow with no need for pesticides or herbicides. #Hemp #hempcrete #sustainable #building #materials Gorffennaf yw Mis Cywarch Cenedlaethol Mae yna ystod o gymwysiadau ar gyfer priodweddau amlbwrpas planhigyn mor gynaliadwy i greu cynhyrchion ecogyfeillgar ar gyfer amrywiol ddiwydiannau a chymwysiadau. Mae sgyrsiau diweddar am ddewisiadau amgen cynaliadwy i arferion traddodiadol wedi mynd â ni i mewn i sgyrsiau am hempcrete. Mae cywarch yn defnyddio ychydig bach o ddŵr yn ei dyfiant cyflym, gall helpu i lanhau llygryddion o’r pridd a hefyd amsugno mwy o garbon deuocsid na’r rhan fwyaf o blanhigion, mae cywarch yn ddewis cynaliadwy i ffermwyr diwydiannol ac mae bellach yn cael ei dyfu yn Sir Benfro ar gyfer cywarch. Rhai ffeithiau diddorol am gywarch: ·      Cywarch yw cywarch wedi'i gymysgu â chalchfaen a dŵr, i ffurfio math o goncrit sy'n pwyso ychydig dros 10% o goncrit arferol, mae'n gwrthyrru rhywfaint o fermin ac yn gweithredu fel inswleiddio ac sy'n gallu anadlu. ·      Mae gan gywarch y ffibr planhigion cryfaf a hiraf yn y byd sydd hefyd yn gallu gwrthsefyll sgraffinio a phydredd, gan gyfrannu at ei ddefnydd ar gyfer parasiwtiau, rigio llongau, bagiau, gwisgoedd milwrol a mwy. ·      Mae cywarch yn gynnyrch cnwd uchel sydd, erw-am-erw, yn cynhyrchu dwywaith yr olew o gnau daear neu bron bedair gwaith cymaint o fwydion papur â choed. ·      Mae cywarch yn gallu gwrthsefyll rhew a gall dyfu heb fod angen plaladdwyr na chwynladdwyr.

Rydym wedi pasio ein hasesiad rheolaeth amgylcheddol ar gyfer y 12 mis nesaf 🙏🌱🌻 gyda'n hadroddiad ar garbon wedi'i ddisgrifio gan yr aseswr fel 'rhagorol'. Rydym yn parhau i fod yn ymwybodol o'n heffaith amgylcheddol ein hunain (sy'n ein helpu i'w gadw'n isel!). Rydym hefyd yn hapus iawn i gefnogi prosiectau amgylcheddol yng Nghymru drwy ein rhoddion blynyddol 'achosion da'. Yn olaf, ein nod yw cefnogi ein cleientiaid i ystyried ymyriadau mwy 'cyfeillgar i natur' o fewn prosiectau.
