Refined hemp cellulose for paper and molded fiber development. Assess the reference profile, define your blend and request a sample for production trials.
HempPulp® is refined cellulose derived from industrial hemp grown in Ukraine. It gives paper and packaging developers a non-wood fiber source from an annual crop, with opportunities to diversify their raw-material base.
The 2023 technical profile describes a light beige cellulose material with a fiber length of 1–3 mm, a reported fiber width of 32.7 µm and ash content of 0.5%. These reference characteristics provide a starting point for a technical discussion.
The appropriate pulp blend depends on forming, drainage, drying, strength and surface requirements. We work from your process and intended end use to define sampling and trial conditions. Final paper and packaging properties are established through the conversion process.

Annual crop.
Industrial opportunity.
Evaluate raw-material choices across the whole supply chain, from cultivation to the finished paper or package.
01
Annual cellulose supply
Hemp grows as an annual crop, creating a renewable source of non-wood fiber.
02
Less pressure on forests
Substituting suitable non-wood fiber for virgin wood pulp can diversify supply and reduce demand on forest resources.
03
Regional availability
Ukrainian cultivation and processing support the development of regional material supply chains.
04
Water-conscious cultivation
Hemp can be grown with limited irrigation where climate, soil and rainfall allow. Water demand depends on local growing conditions.
05
CO₂ reduction potential
Local sourcing and efficient processing offer routes to a lower footprint. The comparison must cover cultivation, pulping, energy, transport and the final product.
06
Industrial development
Paper and molded fiber trials establish the blend and processing conditions required for your application.

Supply & handling
Plan the delivery.
Protect the material.
Agree the grade, packing, volume and documentation for your order before shipment.
Request a samplePacking & delivery
- Discuss the required trial or production quantity and your receiving process.
- Agree the current packing format, net weight and pallet loading in the quotation.
- Request a current technical sheet and relevant batch data for your formulation.
Storage & handling
- Store under cover and keep the material dry.
- Protect from direct sunlight, moisture and foreign material.
- Define incoming inspection and trial criteria with your production team.
Technical questions
Before your
production trial.
Send your end use, required grade, estimated quantity, delivery destination and timing. Include any acceptance criteria or process constraints.
Talk to our technical teamCan it replace all of the wood pulp in my formulation?
The blend depends on the target product and process. Start with trials that assess forming, drainage, drying and finished properties rather than assuming a universal substitution rate.
How are environmental benefits assessed?
Compare the complete supply chains and final products using a consistent lifecycle assessment. Hemp’s annual growth and regional availability are useful starting points; they do not by themselves establish a product-specific CO₂ or water saving.
