Zero Tree × Sustainability
Actions. Not adjectives.
Hemp paper. Compostable products. Zero greenwashing.
We manufacture hemp paper. We make bags that compost in weeks. We replaced tree-based products with ones that actually break down. Here's what that looks like.
The Problem
Hospitality has a waste problem.
A big one.
The U.S. hospitality industry burns through 860 billion single-use cups annually. Most of them sit in landfills for 20+ years.
Nearly 40% of hotel operational waste is packaging and single-use paper products. Bags, wraps, cups, boxes — all tree-based.
15 billion trees are cut down each year for paper and packaging products. That number is accelerating, not slowing.
Hemp grows from seed to harvest in 90 days. A tree takes 20-80 years. Do the math on which one should be making your bags.
What We Do
Actions. Not adjectives.
We don't describe ourselves with buzzwords. We describe what we build and how it works. Judge us on the output.
Hemp Paper Manufacturing
Our parent company, Hemp Paper Company, is the only commercial hemp paper manufacturer in the United States. Hemp reaches maturity in 90 days. Trees take 20-80 years. One acre of hemp produces as much paper as 4 acres of trees. These aren't talking points — they're agricultural facts.
Compostable Products
Zero Tree bags break down in 4-6 weeks in a standard compost environment. Not 500 years in a landfill. Not 'technically recyclable if you find the right facility.' Actual composting. Dirt in a month.
Less Overproduction
We work directly with manufacturers. That means we produce what's ordered, not warehouse loads of surplus that eventually get trashed. Less waste at every stage of the process.
Products That Last
Hemp fiber is stronger than wood pulp. Our Zero Tree bags don't rip, don't fall apart when wet, and hold more weight. Stronger product = less replacement = less in the landfill.

Hemp paper bags.
Made by us. Literally.
Zero Tree isn't a brand we license or a product we rebrand. Hemp Paper Company — our parent company — manufactures the paper. We turn it into bags, wraps, and packaging for hospitality. The entire chain is ours.
Hemp grows in 90 days. One acre yields as much paper as 4 acres of trees. The bags hold more weight than wood-pulp alternatives. They compost in 4-6 weeks. No special facilities required.

Parent Company
Hemp Paper Company
Much Better is a DBA of Hemp Paper Company — the only commercial hemp paper manufacturer in the United States. Every Zero Tree product starts with hemp fiber we process ourselves.
When we say "better materials," we're not putting a sticker on someone else's product. We're making the material. From plant to paper to product.
