A Vision For the Future

of Hemp

As Founder and CEO for 20 years

Ecofibre• Plant breeding, agronomy, field and harvest techniques, cannabis material

processing, new markets and supply across the entire value-chain,

• Collected the world’s most diverse germ-plasm bank of Cannabis seed from all

latitudes,

• Expertise on the Industrial Hemp international laws / legislative know-how to

facilitate change for production and international trade,

• Ecofibre was the first company to send Certified commercial hemp seed into the

US with a pre-approved DEA permit in 2014, and previously to Canada, EU,

Africa, East Asia, Uruguay and other regions,

• Exceptional in field pre-processing technology that provides greater efficiency

than traditional technology for fibre and cannabinoids,

• Now looking to the next Industrial Evolution where man recognizes, embraces

and harmonizes with nature as the ultimate Master

• Is a forward looking company researching and investing new-era products for a

sustainable future.

• The mission is to research, discover and develop techniques, methods and

applications that utilise hemp and other plant materials to significantly advance

the social and health benefit to humanity using environmentally responsible

and sustainable methods.

• Ecolife Science is forming a not-for-profit entity set up to encourage researchers

to learn and educate via the exploration of ideas and opportunities, that are

aligned with the Mission.

• Where IP can be derived and commercialised, the appropriate funds generated

must return to the Foundation for future projects.

EcoLife Science

• Presently the world population is approximately 7.5 Billion. By 2050 world population could be 10 Billion.

• Presently China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Africa, Russia alone = 4 Billion, over ½ world population.

• Over the next 7 years (2025) disposable income in the less developed countries will increase by minimum average of $500/p.a.

• This additional global disposable income will add a further $2 trillion. $2,000,000,000,000. to the global economy to spend on “things”.

• By 2030 (in 12 years) we will need to double the production of “stuff” to make “things” out of to meet basic demand.

GLOBAL CONSUMPTIONThe things we make out of stuff

QUESTIONCan we double the supply of existing traditional feed stock of “stuff “ to meet demand for making “things” in the next 10 years?

ANSWER.

NO….

QUESTION

What sort of “stuff” can fill the need for Sustainable, renewable, eco-friendly resources?

ANSWERHemp for one, has the technical attributes to supply a good part of the Global material need.

MEETING THE DEMAND GLOBAL CONSUMPTION

The stuff we need make things from

CHEMURGY

The word “Chemurgy” was coined by a

chemist William J. Hale and first publicized in his 1939 book The Farm Chemurgic

Chemurgy: “The science of making industrial products using agricultural raw materials”.

Chemurgy can be thought of as a branch of alchemy; a way to turn air, earth, water and plant matter into high value bio-commodities.

Henry Ford produced the world’s first car body from hemp plant fibre composites , Rudolph Diesel designed an engine to run on vegetable oil.

Plant Science is where the Chemurgic process begins.

The chemical fibre composition of hemp is unusual in that two distinct fibre types can be

produced with chemical comparability to biomass such as bamboo, softwood, hardwood

(hurd fibre) and grasses (bast fibre). These properties are prompting a renewed interest in

the potential utility of hemp fibres.

VARIATIONS OF HEMP HURD (INNER FIBRE)

Surface area essentially relates to cell size. The cell skeleton ( when converted to

activated carbon) can absorb and hold different sized compounds and even molecules such

as gasses. The two circled cross sections of hurd have surface areas of 3,600 sq mt per

gram and 1,950 sq mt per gram respectively.

WHERE CAN HEMP GROW

Opportunity for Cultivars to be developed for latitudes 40º-0º to increase area

of global production and higher yields.

PLANT BREEDING

• Specialized Pollen proof

• seed recovery chambers

• Auto nutrient & water

• 10 week period

HEMP MATERIAL BASICS

Hemp is a really efficient Biological plant system that are able to be deconstructed and then reconstructed into forms that are useful to every day life.

Hemp is a fast growing environmentally sustainable, economical produced biomass made up of carbon, cellulose, Lignin, Pectin and many other useful constituents.

Hemp can be the material building blocks for industry and high protein food source.

Hemp can be grown on every continent on this planet. Local production and manufacturing means less transport of materials and goods on a global level.

The use of hemp will reduce energy needs, increase recycling, help decentralisation,

Don’t limit what hemp can do, use your imagination.

• We should heed the most recent UN Climate Change report

• We need to find alternative, local, supply of renewable material feed stocks

• We must develop domestic manufacturing of almost everything

• We can reduce the need to transport food and household goods from far away

• We must produce products that are designed to be recycled

• We must decentralise our Cities.

• We have the technical capability, quantum computing, micro robotics, abundant

cellulose sources, clean energy, social interconnection, new forms of transaction,

• We on the verge of, “The Next Industrial Revolution”.

WHAT IS THE REALITY

WHAT DOES IT TAKE

The Speed of Discovery

Development can be fast if there is an Emergency, a crisis or a need?

In 1939 (before the break out of WWII) the Bi-Plane was still being used extensively.

At the end of WWII (1945) the jet fighter was a reality. It took only 6 years to achieve.

We are approaching an enormous global crisis on more than one level that can only be averted with immediate action.

The EMERGENCY is NOW

We have been using the same basic technology for over 6,000 years.

FOR EXAMPLE, TEXTILES

• Textiles are the 2nd biggest cause of

pollution on planet.

• 80% of Textiles are synthetic based.

• Global average consumption of textiles is 13kg a person p.a.

• textiles sent to landfill in Hong Kong alone is 253/t daily.

• In the US 16 million/t of textile waste is generated each year,

10.46 million/t is sent to the landfill.

Embracing the Inevitable.3D Printed Recyclable clothing.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DISRUPTION

WHAT A RECYCLABLE WARDROBE WOULD MEAN

• Reduction in land fill, (textiles sent to landfill in Hong Kong alone is 253/t

daily)

• Global average consumption of textiles is 13kg a person p.a. (reduced to 5kg)

• Huge reduction in materials used (95% less)

• Reduction in freight/transport of materials (reduction in energy use)

• Lower use of synthetics, (less non-biodegradable materials)

• Less cotton needed, (more water for food crops)

• Reduced cost of fashion (better use of wealth)

• Greater flexibility in clothing, (makes every person happy)

THE WORLD OF CARBON

THE WORLD OF CARBON

• Design products for the future, leap-frog over present technologies onto a level playing field.

THE FUTURE SUCCESSHOW TO START & DEVELOPED

Rather than compete head to head with

existing industry, leapfrog over the present

into the future

• Research the competitive and unique material assets that hemp offers.

• Anticipate a hostile and competitive world from within and outside the hemp industry.

• Collaborate, your value chain suppliers and your consumer on the development journey with you.

• Draw upon and learn from the industrial history. History has a habit of repeating itself when forgotten.

FUTURE MANUFACTURING?

• Home manufacturing. An online industry, less transport, quicker turn around,

• Reduced need for centralised high density living/working,

• Less concentration of services, better and less use of energy.

Is it for a few or for all? Big or Small?Immediate or Long term?To follow the existing systems or trends or is it to start completely a-new.
