As the construction industry pivots toward more sustainable, efficient, and resilient solutions, hemp-based building systems are emerging as a game-changer.  This presentation introduces the pioneering development of Australia’s first prefabricated hempcrete Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) that is not only environmentally responsible but also scalable and cost-effective.

We'll delve into the sustainability and characteristics of hempcrete—its carbon-negative footprint, thermal efficiency, and acoustic performance—while highlighting the innovation behind Otetto's Living Canvas SIPs that streamline construction timelines and reduce on-site waste.  Attendees will get a first look at our prototype panels and see how they integrate into a modular home concept; redefining what's possible in residential, commercial, and modular construction.

Whether you're an architect, builder, policymaker, or sustainability advocate, this session offers a forward-looking perspective on how prefabrication and bio-based materials can intersect to build a better, greener future.
