Hempitecture, a Ketchum, Idaho-based company, will soon be manufacturing a non-toxic, no-VOC and more sustainable thermal insulation product for residential and commercial buildings. Once complete, Hempitecture’s 33,000 sq. ft. nonwovens plant will be the first hemp insulation designated facility in the U.S.
The idea for Hempitecture came to Mattie Mead, CEO and founder, when he was an undergraduate in architecture and environmental sciences at Hobart and William Smith Colleges nearly a decade ago.
In other news, the US Department of Veterans Affairs has again awarded Medline the contract, valued at $150 million annually, to be the sole distributor of non-pharmaceutical medical supplies for the VA's Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy program. In service of CMOP enrolled veterans, Medline will continue to deliver more than 4.5 million supplies directly to veterans' homes, including incontinence, diabetes, wound care and enteral feeding supplies.
"CMOP is very pleased to continue our partnership with Medline for the fulfillment and delivery of medical supplies to our nation's Veterans," says Rick Purko, RPh, associate chief consultant PBM/CMOP. "CMOP views this partnership as a critical service to ensure that the veterans we serve receive supplies in a timely and accurate manner, without having to leave their home."
