Hemspan states that it designs bio-based building systems and products for construction by combining modern methods, technology and hemp to produce net-zero carbon solutions. The company argues that every time an average house is built, the CO2 emitted by the manufacture, transport and assembly of the materials used is around 50 to 60 tonnes. Hemspan says that one hectare of UK-grown industrial hemp can absorb 11 tonnes of CO2 each year with regeneratively farmed hemp capable of sequestering a further 6 tonnes per hectare of CO2 into the soil each year. Hemspan intends to activate significant demand for hemp farming in the UK and develop processing technologies to reduce reliance on imports and enable large scale manufacturing of bio-based cladding and insulation products that spin out of R&D programmes. It asserts that the global industrial hemp market is expected to grow at 25% CAGR reaching US$ 27 billion by 2028. It aims to be a contender in this segment.

HOMETHINGS, a UK B Corp that has received awards, is revolutionizing the home care sector by introducing refillable products using tap water. Their mission arose from the realization that most cleaning sprays contain over 90% water, leading to unnecessary transportation of heavy water in disposable plastic bottles worldwide. They initially launched effervescent tablets for surface care sprays, which are manufactured in the UK and certified as Vegan and Cruelty-Free. By refilling with these tablets, customers can potentially reduce carbon emissions by up to 94% compared to conventional spray products.
