Researchers have developed a new hemp-derived material that shows promise as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic. This material exhibits comparable or superior malleability and stretchability, maintaining durability even under high temperatures. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, the hemp-based version, made from low-grade CBD oil, is non-toxic and degrades naturally in soil, offering potential for upcycling back into CBD oil. AI
