planetHEMP is an apparel manufacturing group based out of the Pittsburgh, PA area. We manufacture active and athleisure apparel for consumers and certified retailers using organic hemp-based fabrics.

Cotton farming uses ~20% of our world’s total pesticides annually. Hemp fabric is woven using the bast fibers from cannabis and is known for its superior strength, requiring 0 harmful pesticides to grow.
Additionally, we cut and sew our apparel in the United States and nearly 100% of our cut-and-sew manufacturing is done in-house. International apparel manufacturing ethics lack transparency. Not all companies are clear about their manufacturing methods, leaving you in the dark about your clothing’s origins. By making our clothing in-house we can monitor working conditions and adhere to local regulations.
Now you can enjoy organic hemp-based, ethically manufactured apparel that’s made for everyday use.

Hemp as a crop is beneficial for farmers and the environment in general. Thousands of products can be made from hemp that are eco-friendly, highly effective alternatives to the status quo version of the equivalent product.
The primary environmental benefits of hemp textiles include:
Hemp’s natural pest-resistance allows it to be grown without the use of pesticides. Cotton is accountable for $2.6 Billion worth; over 10% of the world’s pesticide use and approximately 25% of the world’s insecticides.
Hemp is a durable fiber meaning longer-lasting, higher quality clothing, slowing the fast fashion trend. The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of the world’s carbon emissions and pollutes the oceans with micro-plastics.
Hemp uses about ¼ the amount of water that cotton requires to grow and produces a higher yield of fiber per acre than cotton does.
