How Cannabis Brands Tackle the Environmental Elephant in the Room – Green Entrepreneur

Hemp has been used for centuries as a strong, durable fabric and paper, but until recently it wasn’t fully recognized for its environmental benefits.

Botani creates customizable hemp paper products for cannabis businesses, such as rolling and blunt wraps that are derived from natural resources and eco-friendly processes.

Canadian cannabis company Mood Ring aims to combat this problem by using hemp plastic for fully compostable pop-tubes.

When products made from corn fiber are used up, they can be returned to the earth, completing the life cycle of production, consumption, disposal, and re-use.

Not only are corn fibers more sustainable, they have a low odor retention, making it an ideal material for filtering cannabis products that often leave lingering aromas.

The custom filters were created to fit perfectly inside the Moose Labs MouthPeace, the first physician-backed, germ-preventing accessory designed to fit joints, glass pipes, and vape pens, preventing direct oral contact with a variety of shared smoking devices.

In celebration of Earth Day, today Moose Labs launched a new natural Corn Fiber MouthPeace Filter.

AE Global has joined 4G Recycling, an organization that claims to have recovered nearly 24 million pounds of plastic in its first year, to clean up Miami’s beaches on Earth Day.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the day when communities around the globe come together to plant trees.

Across various languages and cultures, the word ‘arbor’ represents trees of all shapes and sizes.

“The Arbor name ties us back to our roots in the Colorado mountains and our appreciation of nature, which is why we also want to pay homage to this historic global tree-planting holiday,” says Arbor Hemp founder and CEO Michael Scherr.

To support these efforts and help reforestation projects across America, Arbor Hemp is donating 10% of Paril profits to support reforestation through the Arbor Day Foundation, the largest 5013 nonprofit membership organization dedicated to planting trees in communities throughout America and around the world.

Overall, there’s much to consider before slapping an eco-friendly label on a particular product, especially in the world of cannabis.
