I am interested in Hemp Bio plastics. Do you have a list of those companies.
Hi Roth,
Sorry I won’t be able to help you further. But have you made progress on this? I’m looking for eco friendly packaging for our products and preferably made from Hemp Bio Plastics.
If you know more by now, would you be able to share this info?
Kind regards,
Jurriaan
