This week the potential for developing a commercial industrial hemp growing industry in Tasmania has been detailed at a state parliamentary inquiry.
An unusual case was put by a small northern Tasmanian recycled plastics manufacturer that wants to use hemp in its products.
Envorinex is a speciality plastics manufacturer with a strong research and product innovation profile.
The international director from the company Michael Turner says industrial hemp can help provide new markets for the plastic products.
