As in France, re-classified plants for the production of hemp products
On the basis of one of the plants of the French cement giant Lafarge (Yonne department, Bourgogne region) started the production of mulch and geotextile materials from hemp.
Worked since 1930 furnace plant located in the municipality of Lezinnes (Lézinnes), are made of cement for one of the largest manufacturers of building materials in the world in November 2012 was stopped. The management of Lafarge stop production overcapacity explained furnace for the French regional construction market and the high cost of cement production capacity in the data, due to the use of outdated technologies. However, representatives of the French construction giant even during stop cement production emphasized that the workers will not allow reductions in the company or their dismissal. Every employee of the company was invited to any other place of employment in other production facilities of the group or be invited to retrain and work at the production facilities of the plant, which was supposed to produce at building materials and products necessary for gardening, in particular hemp mulch.
For four years, all employees of the plant have been reclassified. In came the new owners, who are employed only 7 new employees of the plant capacity. New machinery is installed in manufacturing plants allow to produce various materials from hemp raw materials, in particular, garden mulch and geotextiles. Production capacity of the plant, "sharpened" the processing of vegetable raw materials, mainly hemp fiber, which is massively cultivated in Burgundy.
Designed by French specialists for the processing of hemp raw materials technology helped to create production facilities, which are able to produce innovative products. In particular, hemp mulch not only protects plants from precipitation, but also allows you to effectively deal with the spread of agricultural producers weeds. This product contains 100% natural fiber that effectively enrich the soil humus in the process of decomposition. In addition, hemp mulch significantly to function effectively than other types of mulch, including on the basis of different bioplastics or starch.
Also mulch hemp, hemp produced in the factory "bags for green waste 'intended for re-use and complete biodegradability after the expiry of its operation. This environmental technology has been awarded during the competition eco-innovation in 2016 - "Eco-innovez 2016 en Bourgogne-Franche-Comté".
