What is Sustainable Cannabis? – Sustainable Cannabis Products in MA

Much like any agricultural product, cannabis cultivation and cannabis product production can require a lot of natural resources. Further, poor growing practices or unmonitored pollutants from grow operations and processors can lead to other planetary risks. However, some brands in the industry, including us here at Solar Cannabis, are focused on keeping cannabis earth-friendly and more sustainable than most agricultural products.

Sustainably grown cannabis is an important designation when shopping at the dispensary because it tells you as a consumer the brand has done all it can to be kind to the environment. What is sustainable cannabis, and what makes a cannabis flower or product legitimately sustainable? Take a closer look at the answers below.

What Is Sustainable Cannabis?

Sustainable cannabis refers to the cultivation, processing, and distribution of cannabis products in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. This approach aims to minimize the ecological impact of cannabis production and promote ethical practices throughout the supply chain.

What Makes Cannabis Sustainable?

Sustainable Growing Practices

Sustainable growing practices mean the grower considers the environmental impact of every aspect of how its plants are grown. Sustainable growing practices may include:

• Using organic farming methods without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
• Employing water-saving techniques and technologies to minimize water usage in cultivation
• Embracing regenerative agricultural practices that focus on improving soil health, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem resilience
• Implementing energy-efficient technologies, such as renewable energy sources, to reduce the carbon footprint of indoor cultivation facilities

Sustainable Processing/Manufacturing Practices

Just as growers can implement strategies for sustainability, processors that produce cannabis products can do the same. Sustainable processing and manufacturing processes can involve everything from working to recycle materials and resources used during extraction to relying on alternative, renewable energy sources to power equipment.

Sustainable Cannabis Packaging

The explosion of new cannabis products available to consumers in legal markets equates to a high potential for a lot of waste. For example, a single gram of cannabis flower may come along with up to 70 grams of packaging, which is primarily made of plastic. Therefore, it is important for brands truly focused on sustainability to also focus on implementing practices to minimize waste generation, such as using recyclable materials and making sure customers know how to recycle sustainable cannabis packaging.
