Aussie researchers have pulled off a beauty – they’ve blended hemp with geopolymer to create a new building block that’s strong, fireproof, lightweight, and actually stores carbon. It’s a massive step up from traditional hempcrete, and it could be the concrete alternative the construction world has been waiting for. Led by Dr Darren Wishart at…
When it comes to solving Australia’s plastic pollution problem, hemp is stepping into the spotlight — and it’s about time! 🌿 Hemp-based bioplastics offer a clean, green, and bloody brilliant alternative to traditional plastics, and the best part?

Loneliness can hit like a punch you never saw coming. One day life feels full – a career, a home, a circle of mates. Then something shifts. A job changes, a relationship ends, you move towns, or your sense of who you are simply drifts. Suddenly the people who used to ‘get you’ aren’t around…

Australia’s sugarcane industry, particularly in Queensland, produces a significant amount of bagasse—a fibrous by-product of sugar extraction.

This shift not only addresses environmental concerns but also opens avenues for sustainable economic growth.
