Rare Earth Global: Pioneering Carbon-Negative Innovation with Hemp Products
Rare Earth Global is thrilled to announce our nomination for the prestigious Earthshot Prize 2024, an initiative spearheaded by Prince William to celebrate groundbreaking solutions for the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges. This recognition highlights our leadership in delivering decarbonised products and fostering sustainable supply chains using hemp—a transformative resource for a greener future.
Our innovative approach was recognised by nominators from the Nature Conservancy, a global environmental nonprofit working to create a world where people and nature can thrive. Founded in the U.S. through grassroots action in 1951, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has grown to become one of the most effective and wide-reaching environmental organizations in the world.
We utilise hemp to create carbon-negative products such as hempcrete for construction, hemp protein for sustainable food, and hemp bioplastics for the energy and manufacturing sectors. These solutions not only contribute to decarbonisation but also showcase hemp’s versatility in addressing global challenges across multiple industries.
Being evaluated by the esteemed Earthshot Council, including global icons such as Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, Sir David Attenborough, and Jack Ma, is an honor that underscores the impact of our work. Our mission aligns with The Earthshot Prize’s goals of building a cleaner, more sustainable future through innovation and collaboration.
Hemp, a fast-growing and renewable resource, plays a pivotal role in reshaping industries by reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable supply chains. By leveraging its properties, we are driving the transition to a bio-based economy, creating opportunities in the B2B marketplace for industries to adopt eco-friendly materials.
This nomination strengthens our resolve to push boundaries in sustainable innovation and amplify the adoption of hemp products worldwide. At Rare Earth Global, we believe the future of construction, energy, and food lies in regenerative materials that support environmental restoration and economic growth.
