BFT produces technical natural fibres from annually renewable plants like hemp or flax for use in wipes, hygiene products, and more. Jason is an early visionary in the Canadian hemp industry and has more than 30 years of experience in the field. He started out selling t-shirts made from hemp after leaving college, even though growing hemp was still illegal in Canada, and grew that business into a multi-million $ company in just a few short years. It was this start in textiles that focused Jason on the importance of fibre quality and the opportunity for high quality hemp fibre in the textile industry. Since then, Jason has been focused on all aspects of the hemp supply chain and has become a sought-after speaker around the globe on topics relating to hemp and bast fibre’s use in consumer products. Also, he uses his proven experience to mentor young entrepreneurs through Futurepreneur Canada. Together with Larisa Harison, Guy Prevost and Noel Hall, Jason founded BFT in 2016. Their goal was to become the leading technical natural fibre solution for consumer good products including wipes, pads, or diapers. Bast fibres like hemp are a plug-and-play replacement for synthetic fibres, due to their natural strength, brightness, and softness among many other benefits. In addition, BFT’s unique processing method allows the fibres to retain their natural moisture management characteristics. This means the resulting consumer good products have excellent absorbency, wet strength and a cloth-like-feel. For this morning, we’ll talk about: -Jason’s 30 year career in hemp fibre / BFT history -The opportunity for hemp in the consumer nonwoven category -The market reaction to hemp content fabric? -Ahlstrom Investment -Immediate wet wipe sales opportu
