Modern trends hemp construction
The most modern trend of the construction of Europe and the Ukraine is an independent use of hemp for insulation kostra already erected buildings and structures.
Nothing really new in the run-up does not occur the global economic crisis in Ukraine. Market players are trying to minimize costs, including construction companies, which for the third year in a row actively "insulated" constructed and previously built facilities of various types buildings of hemp building materials.
In united Europe the number of construction companies use hemp raw materials as a building material also increases, and the amount used hemp kostra as one of the ingredients hempcrete and 16% decreases in the last few years is not a lot in 2013, dropped to 10-11% in 2016. as well as in Ukraine, most of them very few people working on construction orders related to the construction of new buildings and structures. A significant number of foreign companies have focused either on the insulation or the finishing of buildings already constructed a variety of hemp mortars, plasters, wood processing hemp drying oil or the use of paint products manufactured on the basis of hemp oil.
Another disadvantage of hemp market in Europe is the lack of building codes and regulations governing the use of hemp ingredients during construction, especially in a multi-storey building. In this plane in this country is much easier. GOST standards adopted back in Soviet times meant the possibility of using some of the building materials, which include hemp components. In addition, the "liberal" construction legislation Ukraine suggests the possibility of ignoring even these building regulations. As a rule, the individual sector, which works with the significant number of Ukrainian companies specializing in the use of hemp building materials are not accepted at all raise the question of compliance with any rules or regulations.
In spite of this, some companies are trying to market the national hemp not only develop, but also to pursue "expansion" of the knowledge and technologies both in our country and in the economically developed countries in Asia, Europe and North America.

• The first workshop on hemp insulation of houses (Stoke Bialy, Poland)
• First International Forum on technical hemp (Kyoto, Japan)
on the background of hemp walls with First Lady Japan Akie Abe in Kyoto
• Annual Symposium for the construction of houses with the help of technical hemp (Verona, Italy).
Demonstration activities in Ukraine
Participation in the national competition of sustainable "Steel" with the support of the UN Development Program in Ukraine. Hemp builders were in the top 30 companies in Ukraine and received the prize of "Best Business solutions for sustainable development in 2015".
The most modern trend of the construction of Europe and the Ukraine is an independent use of hemp for insulation kostra already erected buildings and structures. In particular, in 2016 several dozen French farmers used them grown hemp raw materials for thermal insulation of existing buildings at their disposal, and even the construction of several country cottages. In our country this year, few people bought their own kostra hemp and hemp using simple construction techniques to warm yourself built their houses in the summer community of Kiev region.
