  • National Industrial Hemp Strategy
    National Industrial Hemp Strategy Prepared for: Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiative Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Contract Number: ARDI III B-27 March 30th, 2008 George Brook, Partner 293 Duncairn Ave. Ottawa, ON, Canada K1Z 7H1 Email: [email protected] Phone / Cell: 613-863-5119 Fax: 613-249-7064 TAG Project Team: George Brook, Kristopher Liljefors, David Brook, Andy Stewart National Industrial Hemp Strategy ii March 2008 Executive Summary Growth of the Canadian Industrial Hemp Sector The history of hemp cultivation is as old as the history of civilization. In North America, hemp was a crucial crop during the colonial period, and it continued to be produced right up to and through the Second World War. A combination of regulatory pressures and changing public perceptions around drug use led to the disappearance of domestic hemp cultivation in North America in the years following WW II. In 1998, Canada joined the large international community of hemp producers by permitting the production of industrial hemp, under a carefully monitored regulatory process. While the growth of the Canadian industrial hemp sector over the past decade has been uneven and at times fraught with challenges, as would be expected from a fledgling industry, there is considerable cause for optimism: The market for hemp seed materials for human health, nutrition, and personal care applications is strong and growing. Market price for a drum of conventionally grown hemp oil is approximately $1600 Cdn, with organic hem oil fetching in the neighbourhood of $2500 a drum (Spring 2008). A favourable court decision in 2004 re-opened the US market, which had been effectively closed in 2000 by the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

  • The Use of Traditional Wooden Spoon As an Alternative Way for Supporting Biodiversity Sarah Eloisa Mae L
    International Journal of Academic Multidisciplinary Research (IJAMR) ISSN: 2643-9670 Vol. 5 Issue 4, April - 2021, Pages: 284-288 Seedbed: The Use of Traditional Wooden Spoon as an Alternative Way for Supporting Biodiversity Sarah Eloisa Mae L. Elevera, Christopher Mikylle V. Digueño, Karl Louisse B. Jaculba, Cyrel Sean M. Joven, Christopher DC. Francisco Barcelona Academy, Marilao, Bulacan, Philippines [email protected] Abstract: This study aims to explore the use of wooden spoons as an alternative to plastic disposable spoons to support biodiversity. This will contain finding out the experiences of the people in having problems or difficulties in using plastic cutlery waste, the tools and procedures needed in order to construct the wooden spoon and the seed that will be inserted, the measurement of the invention in terms of acceptability, durability, and efficiency and lastly, the respondents' thoughts regarding the given invention added by their suggestions for its future improvements. The results gathered from five selected respondents revealed the problems and issues being encountered when using plastic cutlery in terms of (a) burning of plastics, (b) mistaken disposal leading to pollution in waterways, and the largest problem is (c) air pollution. In addition, the given benefits of using the wooden spoon in order to possibly solve these issues are (a) good substitute in plastic utensils, (b) can help to manage waste, (c) helping the biodiversity by producing plants or trees, (d) more hygienic, and (d) more durable than plastics. Keywords—Traditional Wooden Spoon, Alternative way for Supporting the Biodiversity, Experimental research design, Code and Theme Analysis, Thematic Analysis, Thematic Coding 1.

  • Mech 4860: Engineering Design Final Design Report
    Mech 4860: Engineering Design Final Design Report Project: Paper Layup Machine Company: Botanical PaperWorks Project Advisor: Vern Campbell Group Number: 17 Group Members Ryan Dingwall Jianyu Ma Courtney Mandock Alex Taplin Date Submitted: December 6th, 2017 Submitted to: Bryce Saunders, Director of Operations at Botanical PaperWorks Vern Campbell, Faculty Advisor Paul Labossiere, Instructor 0 Executive Summary Botanical PaperWorks, a leading producer of environmentally friendly seed paper products, makes biodegradable seed paper from post-consumer waste. The process to create these products is labour intensive. The process starts by creating a paper and seed slurry, where a mesh screen scoops up the slurry and forms it into a wet sheet. Pressure is applied on the sheets to reduce water weight, after which the paper goes to the drying station. Once the paper is dry, the paper is printed and packaged according to the orders. The current paper thickness ranges from 0.223 mm to 0.273 mm, a 10% variation, across both a single sheet of paper and across multiple sheets, due to inaccuracies in the handmade process. The objective of this project was to develop a process that will reduce paper thickness variation to 3% between sheets and within a single piece of paper. As well, the process will decrease operator strain from a subjective strain scale of 5/10 to 3/10 and increase the current output to more than the current 96 sheets per hour, up to an ideal value of 192 sheets per hour. The team generated 15 concepts that were compared against each other by using a screening matrix and a weighted scoring matrix.

  • How to Make Plantable Seed Paper
    How to Make Plantable Seed Paper Supplies: ● Paper – construction paper, newspaper, sale ads (non-glossy), printer paper, etc. ● Seeds ● Water ● Blender or food processor ● Strainer ● Cookie sheet or tray lined with parchment paper ● Cookie cutters (optional) ● Sponge or towel Instructions: 1. Cut or tear the paper (we used construction paper) into small pieces. My 2.5-year-old loves his kid scissors so this was his favorite part, and it’s a good way to practice fine motor skills! 2. Fill your blender or food processor cup about halfway with paper and then fill close to the top with warm water. Let the paper soak in the water for at least 30 minutes, or longer (if your kids will allow it!). 3. Blend the paper and water mixture until you can no longer see individual paper pieces. 4. Pour the mixture into a strainer to get the excess water out, and then pour into a bowl. 5. Stir in your seeds. Smaller seeds work best for this. 6. Scoop out a little bit of the paper pulp and seed mixture and spread it evenly into a cookie cutter on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, or simply spread the mixture out on the parchment paper without the cookie cutter in the general shape you would like to make. Spread the mixture out so it is relatively thin and has no holes. 7. Take your sponge or towel and gently press on the paper pulp to flatten it and squeeze out the excess water. Keep doing this until you have a flattened piece of paper with no extra water.
