Mirreco, which incorporated in April 2021, has now designed a specialized machine for the manufacture of hemp building panels that cuts processing and curing times from 4-5 weeks to under an hour.  As part of demonstrating the new technology to industry, the company will create a new prototype "mini smarthome", which will feature a number of sustainable technologies and use hemp-based floors, walls, partitions and roofing.  The home is being designed by ArcForms to be cost-effective and carbon-positive, and will also include battery storage and EV charging.                                                           Mirreco will use Clear Vue's solar PV integrated window technology exclusively in their micro-homes, following the successful development of the prototype.  The solar PV technology uses micro and nanoparticles in the lamentation layer of the glass to deflect UV and infrared light to solar cells embedded in the glass's margins.  The glass can generate a minimum of 30 watts a square meter, with expectations that this can soon reach 50 watts a sqare meter.  Clear Vue is the first in the world to use this energy-generating glazing system.  They are based in Australia and doing certification testing at this time so that it can be sold commercially.                                                                                                                                                           Aside from building materials, there's a number of other uses Mirreco has flagged for hemp, including paper, textiles, fuel, food, oils, and civic infrastructure applications.  The intention is to create a "vertically integrated" business that processes hemp into a biomass material on an industrial scale and  connects supply and demand.  There should be at least 40 farmers growing hemp for the company by next year.                                             Mirreco's prototype home is expected to begin fabrication in the next three months, with the completed product to be launched before Christmas.
