Hemp Polycarbonate? A Green Option.

In the process of building some walls and a roof around my aging body, I have researched a few options, and "polycarbonate" is one.

This gloomy Sunday morn' I scanned the 'net for makers and distributors, and hit upon an Australian manufacturer called DOTMAR. After looking through their website for details on their range of polycarbonate products, I found myself inspired to scribe a note and send it to them.

Here 'tis....


Hi, I just placed a request for specs and prices via another link on DOTMAR's website, and, being a "Revolutionary" naturally the question arose about "environmentally-friendly" products along the line of those made by DOTMAR.

Years ago I learned that Henry Ford once produced a motorcar with panels made from hemp fibre, and I seem to recall that it was a polycarbonate.

While hemp is unjustly illegal, it is well known to be an excellent fibre.

Illegalities aside, that-is, if our governments were to suddenly correct the legal anomoly, and make the production of hemp for it's industrial uses, legal, what do your scientists know about whether hemp can be used to produce the polycarbonates similar to those DOTMAR now manufactures?

And, the obvious question to DOTMAR's management is, would they move to do so?

All things considered, as hemp is a prolific renewable resource, (as perhaps are "flax" and other natural fibres), it would be to the credit of DOTMAR if they sought to resource hemp and others to include in their manufacturing.

Lobbying government to correct the laws is another issue, but groups do exist to that end, and I believe some states (under whose legislation these laws are held) have recently made changes so that industrial hemp can once more be grown.

Added to the renewable benefit of hemp for industrial purposes and applications, is the bonus of it being excellent as a "carbon-sink", an issue now under debate in our federal parliament, and, as you would be aware, across the world.

Therefore, it cannot be ignored, that such moves by government and industry toward re-balancing our footprint, is a must, and a Duty.

For a Greener World,

Yours,
