It is well established that the hemp plant provides tremendous benefits towards sustainability.

The use of renewable, annually harvested crop
Scalable production of resources through agricultural processes
Potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through carbon sequestration of the hemp plant. Through the development of hemp elements Modece aims to reduce CO2 in construction and capture carbon within the building fabric.
Efficient land use - from monoculture to dual cropping
Ecological benefits of Sustainable farming - improving soil health for a better yield of food crops
Locally sourced materials. Being able to grow the crop locally will reduce the construction industry’s dependence on external/global markets. This in turn will empower local communities as well as reduce the environmental as well as economical impacts of transportation and processing.
The material being easily produced locally, will be available at a lower cost thereby achieving a lower cost of construction.
Less processed materials encourage the development of vernacular architecture and the expression of local identity that is often lost in mass produced systems.

The potential of on-site production of hemp stalks provides the ability for the management of construction locally to where buildings are required and as a result achieve the reduction of transportation of material.
It is envisioned that the hemp products developed will be bio-based offer improved recovery and recycling options due to biodegradability or compostability
The development of techniques using unprocessed whole hemp stalks is grounded on maximising the intrinsic physical properties of the plant to perform within construction applications. This approach would enable the implementation of less resource intensive production methods ( for example in terms of water & energy use)
Efficiency of materials in construction. Hemp being an extremely lightweight yet strong material tremendously reduces the weight of material required for construction.
