Investor Overview — 2026
The Paper Industry
Needs a Revolution.
Hemp Delivers It.
Hempeeze is building next-generation sustainable paper infrastructure from industrial hemp fiber — targeting a $400 billion global market that has relied on deforestation for centuries.
Global Paper Market
Metric Tons Produced Annually
Trees Cut Per Year for Paper
Acres of Forest Lost Annually
DEFORESTATION
"The alternative has been growing in fields all along."
01 — The Problem
Timber-Based Paper Is an
Environmental Crisis
The global paper industry is built on a fundamentally unsustainable foundation. Every year, it consumes forests, chemicals, and water at a scale that is incompatible with a liveable planet.
Catastrophic Deforestation
33–40% of all industrial wood harvested globally goes directly to paper production. Over 1.3 billion trees are felled every year — not for construction or energy, but for paper products that are used once and discarded.
Toxic Chemical Processing
Wood pulp requires 10–20× more chemical processing than hemp pulp due to its high lignin content. The pulp and paper industry is one of the most chemically intensive on Earth, generating significant water and air pollution.
Industrial Emissions
The pulp and paper industry is responsible for approximately 2% of all global industrial greenhouse gas emissions — a figure that grows alongside rising demand for packaging and tissue products.
Extreme Water Consumption
Producing one tonne of paper from wood pulp requires tens of thousands of litres of water. Bleaching processes introduce chlorine compounds into waterways, causing long-term ecological damage.
02 — The Solution
Industrial Hemp: Nature's Most Efficient Fiber Crop
One acre of hemp produces roughly the same usable fiber as four acres of trees — and it does so in 120 days rather than 20–80 years. Hemp is not a niche alternative; it is a superior industrial material.
The Circular Economy Advantage
CBD Waste Becomes
Industrial Feedstock
The CBD and hemp extraction industry generates millions of pounds of unused hemp stalk biomass every year. After cannabinoid extraction, this stalk material is typically discarded or composted at a cost to producers.
Hempeeze converts this waste stream into industrial fiber pulp — dramatically reducing feedstock costs while solving a disposal problem for hemp processors. This circular model creates a structural cost advantage that timber-based competitors cannot replicate.
THE CIRCULAR CHAIN
Hemp paper can be
recycled 7–8×
vs. 3× for wood pulp
03 — Market Opportunity
A $400 Billion Market
Waiting to Be Disrupted
The global paper market exceeds $400 billion annually and is projected to reach $476 million metric tons of production by 2032. Even a fractional capture of this market represents a transformational revenue opportunity.

05 — The Hempeeze Vision
Not Just a Brand.
Infrastructure for the Hemp Fiber Economy.
Hempeeze's mission is to replace tree-based paper with hemp-based fiber — beginning with consumer tissue products and expanding into industrial pulp supply for packaging and specialty applications globally.
Companies that control the raw material supply chain often dominate entire sectors. Hempeeze is positioned to become a foundational player in sustainable materials manufacturing — supplying pulp and finished goods to multiple industries across the global paper supply chain.

The Founder
She Built a $980M Hemp Empire.
Then She Saw What Was Being Wasted.
Founder
Jenna Zwagil
Hempeeze — Hemp Paper Co.
"I scaled a hemp brand to nearly a billion dollars. And the whole time, I watched tonnes of the most valuable fibre on earth get thrown away. That's not a waste problem — that's a $400 billion opportunity."
Jenna Zwagil built one of the most recognised hemp brands in the world. As founder of HempWorx, she scaled the business into a $980 million wellness empire — and in doing so, saw something that most people in the industry never confront: the sheer volume of hemp biomass left behind after CBD extraction.
Tonnes of fibre-rich stalk, discarded. A resource with extraordinary potential, treated as waste. That realisation became the seed of Hempeeze — a conviction that the hemp plant's greatest contribution to the world isn't in a tincture or a capsule, but in replacing the 400 billion sheets of paper the world consumes every single year.
Alongside Hempeeze, Jenna is founding Divine Earth Theory (est. 2026) — a hemp technology innovation brand pioneering aeroponic hemp cultivation combined with micelle delivery technology, creating another world's first at the frontier of plant science. Hempeeze is the direct expression of that same mission: a vertically integrated hemp paper company that turns agricultural co-product into a scalable, sustainable alternative to timber-based paper — creating global environmental impact at industrial scale.
Jenna brings to Hempeeze what no outside founder could: deep supply chain relationships across the hemp industry, proven consumer brand-building at nine-figure scale, and first-hand knowledge of where the biomass is. She is not entering this market — she has been building it for over a decade.
06 — Investor Takeaway
The Opportunity Is Larger
Than a Consumer Product Brand
Hempeeze is building the infrastructure for the hemp fiber economy — supplying pulp and finished goods to multiple industries. The global paper market has relied on deforestation for centuries. The technology to replace it exists today. The window to lead this transition is now.
