Industrial Hemp Innovation

Turning
planetary assets into
circular futures.

Planetary Assets Zrt is a Hungarian industrial hemp enterprise developing end-to-end value chains — from raw fibre and construction materials to policy frameworks and international knowledge exchange.

Circular Potential

A new kind of asset company

Planetary Assets Zrt is an industrial hemp innovation company based in Hungary, operating at the intersection of agriculture, advanced materials, circular economy and international development.

We believe industrial hemp is one of the most versatile and underutilised raw materials on the planet — capable of replacing petrochemicals, binding CO₂, building homes, clothing soldiers, and educating communities. Our mission is to unlock that potential systematically, from fibre to policy.

From the restoration of the historic Nagylak Hemp Factory to cutting-edge product R&D, we build along the full value chain — and invite partners, investors, and institutions to join us.

Our Philosophy

True sustainability means closing loops — not just reducing harm. Every product we develop, every policy we shape, every programme we run is designed to regenerate rather than extract.

Registered in Hungary

Operating under Hungarian law as a Zártkörűen Működő Részvénytársaság (Zrt), Planetary Assets is structured for long-term institutional collaboration and European grant programmes.

Four pillars of hemp innovation

Our work spans infrastructure, product development, education, and policy — creating a self-reinforcing ecosystem where each pillar strengthens the others.

  • Automotive applications & design elements
  • Defence: ballistic vests, boots, uniforms
  • Biodegradable plastics & pyrolysis
  • Construction: hempcrete, tiles, panels
  • Hurd: acoustic panels, building family
C
Education
  • Farmer training & cross-border programmes
  • University curricula & pilot programmes
  • Industry–academia linkages
  • International knowledge exchange
  • Women empowerment initiatives
  • Global hemp hub network
D
Policy
  • Government-level hemp regulatory frameworks
  • Standards for natural textiles & construction
  • National accelerator programmes
  • Circular economy ecosystem support
  • Developing country capacity building
NAGYLAK HEMP FACTORY

The Nagylak Hemp Factory

At the heart of our infrastructure vision is the restoration and modernisation of the historic Nagylak Hemp Factory — a brownfield site with deep roots in Hungary's industrial heritage and enormous potential as a 21st-century hemp processing hub.

The project encompasses the full spectrum of sustainable industrial development: renewable energy integration, energy-efficient renovation, and technology modernisation aligned with EU environmental and circular economy standards.

Nagylak will serve as our primary R&D base, processing facility, and showcase for what is possible when heritage infrastructure meets regenerative industry.

The environmental case

Industrial hemp is one of the fastest carbon-sequestering crops on earth. Every product we develop replaces a fossil-fuel-derived alternative — and every field planted absorbs CO₂ at a rate conventional agriculture cannot match.

Carbon Sequestration

Hemp absorbs CO₂ at 4× the rate of forests. Our cultivation and product programmes permanently lock carbon into building materials, textiles, and composite parts.

Circular Materials

Every gram of the hemp plant is usable — fibre, hurd, pollen, root. We design processes that generate zero industrial waste and maximum material recovery.

Rural Regeneration

Hemp farming revitalises rural economies. Our education and cross-border programmes create durable livelihoods for farmers in Hungary and across the region.

Petrochemical Displacement

From biodegradable plastics to natural insulation, our products directly substitute fossil-derived materials across construction, automotive, and defence sectors.

Gender & Equity

Our women empowerment programmes and inclusive education initiatives ensure the benefits of the hemp economy are distributed equitably across communities.

Global Policy Impact

We work at government level to establish regulatory frameworks that unlock the hemp industry's potential across the EU and in developing economies worldwide.

Areas of grant interest

Planetary Assets Zrt actively pursues European and international funding for programmes aligned with climate action, circular economy, rural development, and innovation. Our projects span the following thematic areas:

Infrastructure
Brownfield Regeneration & Green Energy

Restoration of industrial heritage sites, integration of alternative energy sources, and energy-efficiency upgrades aligned with EU Green Deal targets.

Innovation
Hemp Fibre Product Development

R&D for automotive composites, defence textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction products, and cellulose-based paper manufacturing.

Innovation
Hemp Hurd & Powder Applications

Development of acoustic highway panels, hempwood, construction product families, and novel applications for hemp powder by-products.

Education
Cross-Border Agricultural Programmes

Farmer training, climate action cooperation, and knowledge exchange connecting growers, researchers, and industry across borders.

Education
University & School Integration

Curriculum development, experimental classroom programmes, and industry–academia partnerships advancing industrial hemp education.

Policy
Regulatory Framework Development

Government-level collaboration to establish hemp standards, accelerator programmes, and circular economy support for less-developed regions.

Let's build the hemp economy together

Whether you are an investor, a grant body, a research institution, a government agency, or a fellow entrepreneur in the hemp space — we want to hear from you.

Planetary Assets Zrt is actively seeking partners, co-applicants for EU grant programmes, and institutional collaborators across all four of our pillars.
