Hemp Shives
Clean woody hemp core for construction and industry
The woody core of the hemp stem, prepared for construction, animal bedding, horticulture and composite applications.
Hemp shives are also known as hemp hurd: the woody inner core separated from the hemp stem during decortication.
Material overview / HS23002
Understand the material.
Define the specification.
Separated hemp shives from Ukrainian industrial hemp straw. Review particle size, dust content, moisture and packing against the requirements of your application.
Hemp shives are the woody inner fraction of the stem, separated during decortication. Their particle structure makes them a useful raw material for hemp-lime construction, animal bedding, horticulture and industrial fillers.
The 2025 technical sheet describes a 100% industrial hemp straw origin, with 98% of particles in the 5–40 mm range, dust below 2% and humidity below 15%. The material has a beige to gray appearance and a pH of 6.0–7.5.
Different applications need different fractions. For construction, discuss binder compatibility and particle grading. For bedding or horticulture, specify cleanliness, particle distribution and your handling requirements. Samples help establish the fit before larger orders.

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 teamAre these shives a finished building product?
They are a raw material for further manufacture. The binder, mix design, production method and finished construction system require their own assessment.
Which fraction should I order?
Provide your end use and target grading. The published reference is 5–40 mm for 98% of particles. Discuss any narrower fraction, additional cleaning or other preparation before ordering.
What is the standard pallet quantity?
The 2025 reference is 18 bags of 30 kg, totaling 540 kg on a 1,200 × 800 mm EU pallet. Confirm the exact packing and delivery configuration in your quotation.
