Sana Packaging: Hemp-Based Packaging Solutions for the Cannabis Industry

Sana Packaging is creating hemp-based packaging for the cannabis industry because it views hemp as the ideal industrial crop. It is both sustainable and regenerative, requiring less water than other industrial crops and none of the pesticides. About 50% of the plastics we create are used for disposable products, like packaging, and packaging also accounts for 30% of municipal solid waste and typically becomes trash within a single year of production. Sana is working to prove that hemp, with its rapid growth cycle, hardiness, and versatility, will provide maximum benefit with minimal impact on the environment.
