Polymer Testing highlights a significant advancement in the hemp industry, focusing on the integration of hemp-derived CBD oil with boronic acid-functionalized chitosan to create sustainable biopolymer packaging. This innovative material offers a 30% increase in tensile strength and a 25% improvement in antimicrobial properties compared to conventional biopolymer films, making it ideal for eco-friendly packaging in industries like food and medical supplies. The CBD-infused biopolymer also improves biodegradability by 20%, aligning with global sustainability goals and reducing reliance on single-use plastics. The global CBD oil market, a key driver of this innovation, is projected to reach USD 26.72 billion by 2033, fueled by rising demand for sustainable and health-focused products. This development reflects broader hemp industry trends, including increased investment in R&D and growing applications in textiles, construction, and wellness, supported by favorable regulations like the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill.
