What’s old is new again: Hemp has long been one of our most important industrial fibers: the American Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper, and it was mandatory for early American citizens to grow hemp plants for sailcloth and rope. Now hemp’s versatility returns in our new Kirei Canamo Hemp panels, used for ceiling panels, architectural millwork and more. Made from the reclaimed hemp hurd fiber left over from fabric manufacture and a No-Added-Urea-Formaldehyde resin, Kirei Canamo Hemp panels are a new blank slate for designers and fabricators
to create with.

Use Kirei Canamo Hemp Panels in architectural, millwork and finished product applications for a sustainable design Canamo-hemp-panels alternative. Kirei Canamo Hemp Panels can be painted, finished or left raw depending on your final design needs.

Environmental Benefits

Kirei Canamo Panels are fabricated using reclaimed hemp hurd fiber left after fabric and seed oil manufacture, thereby reusing a waste byproduct otherwise destined for the landfill. Keeping this material out of landfills sequesters the carbon that would otherwise be released. The adhesive used has no added Urea Formaldehyde and releases no VOC emissions. Kirei Canamo helps reduce this waste and ease deforestation by substituting for wood.
