There’s never been more noise in the world of hemp plastic products. Some are genuinely sustainable. Others, unfortunately, are just plastic in disguise with a touch of hemp fiber. 

So, what types of hemp plastic products can you buy in the USA?

Hemp products are showing up in more places than most people realize. Here are three main sectors in which you can get hemp plastic items :

• Packaging (compostable food containers, ecommerce mailers)
• Consumer goods (toys, electronics casings, personal care containers)
• Specialty applications (automotive parts, 3D printing)

I’ve reviewed dozens of hemp plastic items across sectors to list some of the best you can buy online in the USA. 

Which are the best hemp plastic products you can buy online in 2025?

A great hemp plastic product checks a few non-negotiable boxes:

• It’s made from high bio-based content, like those using hemp, PLA, or PHA.
• It’s certified compostable by independent bodies like BPI, ASTM D6400, or EN 13432.
• It’s designed for real-world use and works with existing manufacturing systems. It does not fall apart in your hand or cost 5 times more than the alternative.
• It’s safe, BPA-free, phthalate-free, and FDA-compliant if used near food.

So when I say best, I mean the ones that work for you and the planet.

Here are seven of the best hemp plastic products available online in the USA this year.

1. Hemp Drinking Straws

We all know how bad single‑use plastic straws are for the environment. But the alternatives, like paper straws, fail to serve the intended purpose and fall apart quickly. Hemp‑based straws offer a biodegradable alternative that is sturdy, stable in hot or cold drinks, and compostable.

These straws are made from hemp and other plant based resins or biopolymers (no petroleum plastic). And most importantly, they don’t go soggy like paper straws or leave any plastic taste or residue.

2. Hemp Disposable Cutlery 

Disposable cutlery, including forks, spoons, knives, is another popular product we end up using multiple times a week but are yet to have any alternatives at a large scale. Switching it with hemp-based cutlery can dramatically reduce plastic waste.

These utensils, made with industrial hemp, decompose under composting conditions and avoid transferring microplastics to your food.

3. Hemp Bioplastic Jars 

Many consumer brands (cosmetics, supplements, food, etc.) rely on jars and containers. Hemp‑based jars are a sustainable and more climate‑friendly container solution.

There are hemp bioplastic jars marketed as food‑grade or airtight containers for oils, creams, or water‑ and oil‑based products. 

Using hemp plastic cuts associated carbon emissions; one ton of hemp sequesters about 1.6 tons CO₂. In comparison, virgin plastic emits a similar amount of CO₂ per ton.

4. Hemp-Based Disposable Cups

Many food‑service businesses, cafés, offices, and quick‑service restaurants are under pressure to reduce single‑use plastic waste.

We have covered straws and cutlery above but another hemp plastic item you can buy online, either for home or for commercial use, is a compostable hemp plastic cup.

5. Hemp Building Material  

Hemp plastic, when fiber‑reinforced, is useful for more than small items. Its strength-to-weight ratio and lower embodied carbon also make it a candidate for broader applications.

Furniture components, panels and building‑material parts are increasingly being made with hemp composites. 

Sustainable buildings and green infrastructure are among the best eco-friendly hemp plastic products to invest in. Compared to conventional concrete or brick walls, hempcrete is much lighter and far better at regulating indoor humidity and temperature.

6. Hemp Twine and Rope

Another under‑appreciated but powerful use of hemp fibre is in twine, cordage, and rope. 

Because hemp fibres (bast fibre from the stalk) have a high tensile strength and natural resistance to degradation, hemp twine and rope have been used for centuries and are now returning as sustainable alternatives in many applications.

When you choose hemp twine or rope over synthetic alternatives, you also choose a fibre that is renewable, low‑input (requires less water or pesticides) and biodegradable.

7. Hemp Plastic Pre‑Roll & Product Tubes 

For industries like cannabis, nutraceuticals, or specialty products, packaging integrity, child‑resistance, and environmental footprint matter. Eco-friendly hemp plastic containers help address all three.

You can buy pre‑roll tubes, jars, and other packaging made from 100% plant-based hemp plastic in the USA.

Sana Packaging (78mm / 110mm / 116mm hemp tubes; wholesale pricing & samples) 

8. Hemp Plastic Filament for 3D printing

For a sustainable product design, a hemp plastic filament is another product you can easily switch to by ordering online. 

A hemp filament blends a bio‑resin such as PLA with hemp fiber or hemp waste (e.g. 10 % hemp byproducts in a PLA base). This composite filament lets you print on the same standard FDM/FFF machines as regular PLA or ABS.

So, hemp plastic products in 2025 are not limited to raw material seedlings or experiments. There are usable consumer and commercial grade products out there.

Of course, with so many claims in the market, knowing which products are truly sustainable is just as important as knowing what to buy.

How do you verify a hemp plastic product’s quality or compostability?

If a hemp plastic items say “compostable hemp plastic” or “biodegradable,” don’t just take it at face value.

Look for third-party certifications like BPI, TÜV Austria, or ASTM D6400.

Ask: What’s the bio-content percentage? What is the base polymer, PLA, PP, or something else?

• If it’s a hemp and PP blend, it won’t compost but may be recyclable.
• Make sure the item is BPA-free and food-safe (for containers).
• Finally, check if it’s certified for home composting or only industrial.

Bioplastics still account for less than 0.5% of the world’s 431 million tonnes of plastics. But global biobased plastics capacity is set to double by 2030. That means more scale and better pricing.

The hemp‑based packaging market was valued at around $237.3 million in 2024 and is on track for a $1.0B valuation by 2035. State policies in the USA are also nudging sellers toward certified compostables.

For instance, California now mandates that pre-checkout produce/bulk bags must be certified compostable or be recycled paper bags to meet statewide plastic-bag bans and waste-reducing goals.

Hemp Foundation is also helping farmers in India by building sustainable products like hemp plastic to meet evolving environmental regulations and reduce plastic pollution.

Eco-friendly hemp plastic can be two to four times more expensive than common plastics like polypropylene.

2. What kinds of products can be made from hemp plastic?

Hemp plastic is used to make containers, cutlery, straws and 3D‑printing filaments. A sustainable version of concrete made from hemp, called hempcrete is another popular product.
