Revolutionary technology for sustainable construction
Patented technology
Horizontal prefabrication of Hempcrete walls - unique, efficient, scalable.
Cost-neutral
Production costs 200 EUR/m² - sustainable and competitive compared to a conventional wall structure
Industrial strength
Reference project OPENLY Valley Widnau - Europe's largest hemp building with a wall area of 1,500 m², produced in just 30 days.
At Cancret, we are redefining the future of construction with our patented technology for horizontal prefabrication of hemp-lime walls. Our solution transforms timber construction companies into pioneers of the sustainable building revolution.
Using CANCRET for your construction project
A conventional timber frame construction is planned and put out to tender. These elements are poured horizontally at the locally selected timber constructor using the Hempcrete mixer and mobile mixing plant patented by CANCRET. Around 50m2 can be produced per day.
The highlight: the mixing plant comes to the element and the added value remains with the timber manufacturer. This strengthens the ecosystem and reduces transportation routes.

Natural materials
Impressive performance
Hempcrete binds more CO2 than is released during its production (-100 kg/m³ compared to +220 kg/m³ for normal concrete).
It transforms buildings into certified carbon sinks and supports global climate goals.
CO2 negativity
With an insulation value of 0.06-0.07 W/m-K, Hempcrete ensures excellent energy efficiency and reduces heating and cooling costs. At the same time, it offers fire resistance (EI120 at 12 cm plastered) and natural mold resistance, ensuring safety and durability.
Thermal insulation
Hemp grows regionally in just 110 days, requires little water, can be cultivated without pesticides and provides around 7 tons of building material per hectare - a renewable resource with a minimal ecological footprint.
Sustainable raw materials
The proof in practice
OPENLY Valley Widnau shows what is possible: industrial scalability, speed and sustainability all in one. With CANCRET, every construction project becomes a showcase for the future.
