Hemp Shiv
Hemp shiv, obtained from the core of the hemp stalk, is a raw material with multiple uses. At La Chanvrière, they believe it should not be seen as a simple by-product, but as a noble resource, full of potential and rich in opportunities. Their mission is to transform it into a premium-quality material, capable of meeting the most demanding market requirements.
This vision is rooted in the care taken by their hemp growers, who pay close attention to every stage of straw harvesting. Thanks to their expertise, La Chanvrière is able to deliver a stable, homogeneous hemp shiv, widely recognized as Premium. For them, customer trust is built on this ongoing commitment and the rigorous control of quality.
A Constant Commitment to Quality
The reputation of La Chanvrière relies on precise technical principles that are consistently applied:
Controlled moisture: they maintain an optimal moisture content, ensuring proper conservation and reliable performance of the material.
Measured particle size: regularity in particle size guarantees ideal homogeneity for industrial and agricultural applications.
Careful dust removal: a clean product, free of fine particles, makes handling easier, improves comfort, and meets strict sanitary standards.
These three criteria are not just technical steps: they represent an industrial know-how that enables La Chanvrière to stand out on both European and international markets.
Multiple Applications
The versatility of hemp shiv allows La Chanvrière to serve several professional sectors. Each has its own requirements, and the company adapts its processing and packaging methods to meet these standards.
Animal bedding: thanks to its strong absorbency and natural ability to reduce odours, hemp shiv is highly valued in equine, poultry, and rabbit farming. It ensures comfort and hygiene for the animals.
Horticultural and agricultural mulching: used as mulch, it protects soil, reduces water evaporation, and limits weed growth. Being 100% biodegradable, it integrates perfectly into environmentally responsible practices.
Building materials: in the construction sector, hemp shiv is used to produce bio-based concrete and insulation. Its thermal inertia, hygrometric regulation properties, and renewable nature appeal to eco-construction professionals.
