Authored by Marie Seshat Landry of the Marie Landry Spy Shop in Moncton, New Brunswick, and dated September 9, 2025, the paper proposes a family of standardized material variants combining an epoxified hemp seed oil matrix with a hierarchical reinforcement system. The system uses hemp-derived carbon morphologies, including nanosheets, biochar, and carbon fibers, alongside modified hemp hurd-derived lignin, which is hypothesized to act as a dynamic crosslinker enabling vitrimer chemistry. This chemistry allows the composite to be repeatedly remolded and recycled with minimal loss of mechanical properties.
The document addresses compounding global crises such as climate change, resource depletion, and microplastic pollution by introducing a post-fossil, post-metal material platform designed from first principles to be circular, regenerative, and multifunctional. Hempoxies are envisioned to serve simultaneously as financial assets minted into fungible, traceable coins and bullion, industrial feedstocks for advanced applications, and climate solutions that actively sequester atmospheric carbon and permanently encapsulate captured microplastic pollution. The framework mandates exclusive reliance on certified organic Cannabis sativa to mitigate bioaccumulation risks and align with strict green chemistry principles.
The core formulation encompasses seven distinct hemp-derived components divided into polymer matrix components, a hierarchical carbon reinforcement system, and a processing aid. The polymer matrix features epoxified hemp seed-derived oil, modified hemp hurd-derived lignin, and hemp hurd-derived hemicellulose as a natural adhesion promoter. The hierarchical carbon reinforcement system includes nanosheets for fracture toughness and conductivity, biochar for lightweight compressive strength, and carbon fibers for primary tensile strength. Hemp-derived furfuryl ether serves as a bio-based reactive diluent to improve moldability. Furthermore, specific variants incorporate functional fillers such as embedded greenhouse gases like captured carbon dioxide or methane to create lightweight foam structures, and upcycled microplastics acting as bulk fillers.
To ensure a true circular economy, every unit of Hempoxies is designed to feature a Material Identification Code structured as a variant code combined with a batch code, such as HX-R500-B8L32. This code links to a secure digital passport containing precise compositional data, feedstock origin, and performance metrics. When scanning the MIC during recycling, automated systems can sort items by formulation to guarantee compositional integrity and support intelligent recycling. The valuation framework for Hempoxies coins and bullion rests on three pillars consisting of practical intrinsic utility pegged to real-world industrial performance, controlled scarcity and rarity managed through limited-edition variants, and imbedded informational knowledge valuable to environmental, social, and governance investors.
Projected properties span high-strength-to-weight ratios, fracture toughness, and tunable thermal and electrical properties suitable for aerospace, electronics, and construction. Environmental performance highlights a multi-faceted carbon sequestration approach involving soil sequestration from regenerative organic farming, permanent biomass carbon storage in composite components, and embedded gas trapping. The microplastic pollution strategy relies on prevention through bio-based biodegradable matrices and remediation via permanent sinking of captured microplastics. Technical applications are categorized into advanced engineering variants like high-strength HX-S200 and conductive HX-C300, sustainable construction options like lightweight HX-L400 blocks, and environmental remediation variants like HX-R500.
Although currently categorized at a low Technology Readiness Level between 1 and 2, the conceptual framework provides a robust roadmap requiring rigorous experimental validation, component synthesis, mechanical testing, and digital infrastructure development. Researchers, materials scientists, environmental engineers, sustainable investors, and policy makers interested in circular economies and bio-based materials will find this document exceptionally useful for understanding how industrial utility and financial asset classes can merge into a single restorative paradigm.

Hempoxies are a conceptual class of programmable, multifunctional composites derived entirely from certified organic hemp.
The paper was authored by Marie Seshat Landry of the Marie Landry Spy Shop in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
The MIC provides precise traceability, linking each unit to a secure digital record of its composition, batch data, and origin to enable intelligent recycling.
They include epoxified hemp seed-derived oil, modified hemp hurd-derived lignin, hemp hurd-derived hemicellulose, carbon nanosheets, biochar, carbon fibers, and hemp-derived furfuryl ether.
They can be manufactured into fungible, traceable coins and bullion whose value stems from industrial utility, controlled rarity, and imbedded sustainability knowledge.
