AMAZING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Jo Say : jksay @ hotmail . com 027 655 2219

In order to build a hempcrete home we need hemp hurds , a lime-based binder and water .

So far , all the NZ hemp homes have used a certified binder imported from Australia . ( See www . HBA . NZ for product links ). Our Australian cousins are way ahead of us with over 170 Hempcrete homes already built there .
We are following in Australia ’ s footsteps . That is how we know that there is fantastic business opportunity here in New Zealand for someone to produce , get certified , retail a local NZ Hempcrete binder . The principle ingredient is lime . To be sustainable and help reduce hemp building costs even lower , we need to be retailing a locally sourced & produced NZ binder .
If you are entrepreneurial or know someone who is , and want to be involved in helping to grow the NZ hempcrete construction industry , please get in contact and we can talk about this exciting and potentially lucrative business opportunity . q 20
