GreenTek Packaging Launches Disposable Utensils Made from Hemp
Made from all natural elements, including U.S.-grown industrial hemp, GreenTek Packaging LLC's newly launched Hemptensils™ is the first in-kind brand of plant-based disposable utensils that won't harm the environment. Developed by engineer and GreenTek Founder, Jordan Hinshaw, Hemptensil forks, spoons and knives are 100% bio-based (they have no petroleum) and are compostable, meaning they can break down heat and bacteria into water, air and carbon dioxide. If the products were to end up in a landfill, they would not be harm the environment.
Additionally, GreenTek puts a major focus on sustainable production, as well as building American communities, farms and manufacturing in accordance with the federal legalization of industrial hemp (less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol) for a stronger, greener economic future. The company partners with growers in California, Kentucky and North Dakota and is also in talks with a few other co-ops that represent hundreds of acres of hemp in the Midwest to see what can be done with their waste profiles.
