Australian Primary Hemp (APH) was up more than 15 per cent today after launching a new range of hemp-based personal protective equipment (PPE).

The company will immediately begin supplying these products, which includes face masks and hand sanitisers, to Australia and international markets.

APH will pocket more than $315,000 from these products, which have been developed in response to concern over the environmental impact of the traditional masks.

The hemp-based face masks are biodegradable, reusable and sustainably sourced. They consist of three layers of hemp and hemp-blended material which, according to certification company SGS, can deliver a 99.9 per cent decrease in microbial count.

APH’s hand sanitiser is infused with its hemp seed oil and Australian native bush mint balm to boost its fragrant, antiseptic, and moisturising properties.

Further, the hand sanitiser complies with World Health Organisation standards.

APH is still up a healthy 15.6 per cent and shares are trading for 18.5 cents each at 1:14 pm AEST.
