Our mission
Address the hemp industry's need for fibre processing
Grow an industry where producers prosper
Create opportunity for eco-friendly manufacturing
Support innovation for diverse local economies
​
​
The missing link: processing
Alberta Hemp Works develops and sells hemp products that use the entire hemp plant. We believe that building and sustaining Alberta's hemp industry depends on "whole plant utilization" and maximizing the potential of hemp fibre. The missing link is decortication or processing capacity, turning raw stalks into usable hurd and bast fibre.
​
The Hemp Works decortication line will be ready for commissioning in the Summer of 2020. This allows our farmers to sell their hemp straw, rather than burn it while manufacturers can buy local, rather than import. Decorticated materials can be used immediately or processed further for hundreds of different applications. See products
