Proper recycling and making use of the hemp plant more for bio-materials such as bio-plastic.

I would like to encourage the opening of more bioprocessing facilities for hemp. There is so much use for the plant and it is all being concentrated on CBD. While that is great and all the plant has much more to offer. It is one of the most sustainable plants you can grow to have such a high yield of biomass material. It should be used to its fullest potential because it also has a fast maturity and turn over rate to help sequestrate CO2 emissions out of the air. It needs the least amount of water, pesticides, and fertilizers then any other plant used for this reasoning. It can subsequently be used for all of our plastics (single use/long term) and countless other materials including hempcrete. It is the most practical alternative choice of a plant to use for biomaterials and for biofuel and action should be taken to the fullest accountability to make this happen.
