Ekolution signs agreement for hemp fiber insulation with Optimera in Sweden
Ekolution AB has signed an agreement with Optimera Svenska AB.
Through the agreement with Ekolution, Optimera will be the first building products store in Sweden to offer Ekolution® Hemp fiber insulation. The cooperation enables the products to be stocked by Optimera in Sweden and can contribute to fast deliveries in most of Sweden.
- “We are delighted to start a partnership and welcome Optimera's commitment to reshaping the construction industry to a renewable construction technology. We also share the same vision of the bio-based building products of the future, where hemp fiber insulation as a natural, carbon-negative material is an important part of the transformation of the construction industry,” says Remi Loren CEO, Ekolution AB.
Ekolution AB manufactures and sells sustainable bio-based building materials and building systems. Products are CO2-negative, energy efficient and healthy for both building and human. The flagship product Ekolution® Hemp Fibre Insulation is now available at Optimera and is also registered at Building materials assessment, Sunda House and EPD International.
Industrial hemp stores CO2 throughout its lifespan and is a renewable resource from agriculture. Hemp grows from seedling to full grown product in 100 days and stores 22 tonnes of CO2 per hectare. This means that Ekolution's hemp insulation has very good environmental values right from the start, more precisely minus 2.2 kg CO2e per sqm (100mm thickness).
- “This eco-smart product fits perfectly into our range and Optimera's sustainability profile, we are very excited about this and future collaborations with Ekolution,” says Henrik Björk, Product Manager for Heavy Construction and Wood at Optimera.
Ekolution's hemp fiber insulation is available for purchase at Optimera from May 2021. If you want to know more about Ekolution AB or our hemp fiber insulation, please visit our stores, www.optimera.com or www.ekolution.se.
