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.
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.
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.
Operating under Hungarian law as a Zártkörűen Működő Részvénytársaság (Zrt), Planetary Assets is structured for long-term institutional collaboration and European grant programmes.
Our work spans infrastructure, product development, education, and policy — creating a self-reinforcing ecosystem where each pillar strengthens the others.
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.
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.
Hemp absorbs CO₂ at 4× the rate of forests. Our cultivation and product programmes permanently lock carbon into building materials, textiles, and composite parts.
Every gram of the hemp plant is usable — fibre, hurd, pollen, root. We design processes that generate zero industrial waste and maximum material recovery.
Hemp farming revitalises rural economies. Our education and cross-border programmes create durable livelihoods for farmers in Hungary and across the region.
From biodegradable plastics to natural insulation, our products directly substitute fossil-derived materials across construction, automotive, and defence sectors.
Our women empowerment programmes and inclusive education initiatives ensure the benefits of the hemp economy are distributed equitably across communities.
We work at government level to establish regulatory frameworks that unlock the hemp industry's potential across the EU and in developing economies worldwide.
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:
Restoration of industrial heritage sites, integration of alternative energy sources, and energy-efficiency upgrades aligned with EU Green Deal targets.
R&D for automotive composites, defence textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction products, and cellulose-based paper manufacturing.
Development of acoustic highway panels, hempwood, construction product families, and novel applications for hemp powder by-products.
Farmer training, climate action cooperation, and knowledge exchange connecting growers, researchers, and industry across borders.
Curriculum development, experimental classroom programmes, and industry–academia partnerships advancing industrial hemp education.
Government-level collaboration to establish hemp standards, accelerator programmes, and circular economy support for less-developed regions.
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.
