Sustainably grown on Dutch soil
Hemp is one of the most versatile crops in the world. It is a plant that takes little time to grow. In addition, the hemp plant is often used as a crop rotation for agricultural crops, such as potatoes. And that is important, because it prevents diseases and improves the quality of the soil.
With this collaboration, Isover and Dun Agro are taking a joint step towards a more sustainable construction sector, in which bio-based insulation materials are playing an increasingly important role.
