Being Green

Almost completed, the Hemp Hotel has been named the world's tallest building to be constructed from hemp blocks and hempcrete. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Boshoff Muller, the director of Afrimat Hemp that produced the bricks for the hotel, about why this makes the building more carbon negative.
