We make 100% single use  compostable & biodegradable packaging from hemp fiber.

Our campaign

A single use revolution, giving the world choices.

Why this matters

Plastics overuse is a global crisis; packaging made from hemp fiber is the solution.
Elysian has created packaging that is truly 100% compostable, with the lowest  carbon footprint, cradle to cradle.

Plastics are a universal crisis destroying our ecosystems and altering all of our biological systems, from the smallest plants to the human body.

Manufacturers around the world are looking for solutions, and some are already shifting to green packaging but so far, they are only meeting a small fraction of consumer demand.

With legalization of industrial hemp by the 2018 Farm Bill, farmers can now to grow this profitable three-product crop in the U.S.  Farmers, processors, and manufacturers can now come together to grow local process local and sell locally with the ability to expand this model globally , creating a triple bottom line and a single use revolution.

What Is Hemp Paper

November 3, 2020|bio plastics, compostable, Compostable packaging, Hemp fibers, history of hemp, plastics, History of Industrial hemp, Industrial Hemp, packaging, Plastic free, The package Matters


Hemp paper is one of the many versatile products made from industrial hemp. It is more sustainable and durable compared to the traditional tree based paper. The process of manufacturing hemp paper begins by breaking down the bast fibers on the outer layer of the plant. Hemp contains a lower amount of lignin compared to wood which makes it faster and easier to break down into pulp to create paper. The pulp is also naturally brighter so it doesn’t need to be chemically bleached, unlike tree-based paper which uses chlorine bleach that  releases toxic dioxin into the environment. The pulp can then be molded into the proper shaper with a deckle or a specialized frame. Hemp paper can be made with soy-based binders (they are added to paper to increase water retention, making it more durable) compared to chemical binders used for tree paper which release a harmful chemical called formaldehyde. Hemp paper can also be recycled up to 7 or 8 times compared to tree paper which can only be recycled up to 3 times. Compared to trees, 1 acre of hemp will produce as much paper as 2 to 4 acres of trees with less space and time. Hemp paper is a much more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional paper made from trees.
