What does Australian-grown h**p become?

In this case, a premium custom kitchen.

These kitchen cabinets have been manufactured from HulkBoard, a h**p-based panel product made using Australian-grown h**p and manufactured right here in Australia.

For decades, h**p has been recognised for its potential as a sustainable industrial crop. Today, we're helping turn that potential into reality by creating high-value products that can be used in homes, commercial projects, furniture, joinery and construction.

Every panel represents more than just a building material. It represents a new market for Australian growers, regional manufacturing opportunities, and a practical pathway towards a more sustainable materials industry.

From farm to finished product, this is Australian h**p creating Australian-made solutions.

The future of h**p isn't coming—it's already being built.

**p **p **pInnovation

From paddock to premium joinery.

These custom kitchen cabinets are being manufactured entirely from 18mm HulkBoard (HB) — our Australian-made panel product created from Australian-grown h**p.

Designed, machined, and assembled in-house, this project demonstrates the versatility of h**p-based materials beyond traditional construction. Combining strength, durability, and a distinctive natural character, HulkBoard offers a sustainable alternative without compromising on performance or aesthetics.

At HulkBuild, we're committed to proving that the future of manufacturing doesn't have to rely on imported materials or resource-intensive products. By transforming locally grown h**p into high-performance building materials, we're creating value throughout the supply chain while supporting Australian farmers, regional manufacturing, and a more sustainable built environment.

Every sheet of HulkBoard represents a step towards a circular, Australian-made future.

Australian Made Week

At Wandarra, we believe the future of materials starts in the soil.

Through our SMARTS — Sustainable Materials and Regenerative Transformation Systems — we are building integrated supply chains that connect Australian agriculture, regional manufacturing and advanced materials innovation.

One example of this in action is HulkBuild, one of Wandarra’s manufacturing entities based in Townsville, producing plant-based composite boards from Australian-grown industrial h**p.

These materials are designed for applications across construction, cabinetry, interiors, furniture and architectural panels — helping demonstrate how regenerative crops can become the next generation of building materials.

Importantly, the products produced through HulkBuild are certified by the Australian Made Campaign, reinforcing our commitment to materials that are grown and manufactured in Australia.

Industrial h**p grows in months, stores carbon as it grows, and allows us to develop durable materials that compete with traditional timber and imported products while supporting Australian farmers and regional industry.

This is the vision behind SMARTS — creating Sustainable Materials and Regenerative Transformation Systems that enable a new generation of Australian-grown materials and manufacturing.

Australian Made Week

At HulkBuild, Australian Made isn’t just a label — it’s the foundation of what we’re building. All of our products are proudly certified by the Australian Made Campaign, reflecting our commitment to materials that are grown and manufactured here in Australia.

From our manufacturing base in Townsville, we’re developing the next generation of plant-based construction materials using industrial h**p grown by Australian farmers.

By transforming Australian-grown h**p into high-performance composite boards, we’re helping create a new materials supply chain that connects regional agriculture with advanced manufacturing.

These materials are designed for applications across:

Construction
Cabinetry and interiors
Furniture and architectural panels

Industrial h**p grows in months, stores carbon as it grows, and can be processed into durable materials that compete with traditional timber, bamboo and imported boards.

For us, Australian Made means more than manufacturing locally. It means supporting Australian farmers, building regional industry, and creating materials that are better for the future of construction.

🌱 From paddock to product — the power of Australian h**p

At Wandarra, we’re proud to see Australian-grown industrial h**p being transformed into next-generation materials through HulkBuild.

HB HulkBoards are manufactured in Townsville using h**p fibre grown and harvested in just a few months. This rapidly renewable crop naturally captures carbon during its growth cycle and can be engineered into strong, durable composite boards used in furniture, cabinetry and construction.

By replacing traditional wood fibres with regeneratively grown h**p, products like HulkBoards help reduce reliance on timber resources while supporting new bio-based manufacturing industries here in Australia.

All HulkBuild products carry the Australian Made Campaign certification, reinforcing the commitment to keeping manufacturing, agriculture and innovation local.

It’s a powerful example of what’s possible when regenerative agriculture meets modern manufacturing.

Great to see HulkBuild launching their new YouTube channel 🚀

The team will be sharing behind-the-scenes content on how HB HulkBoards are manufactured using Australian-grown h**p, along with project showcases, product testing and creative builds demonstrating how bio-based materials can be used in real-world applications.

At Wandarra, we’re proud to be part of the broader ecosystem supporting the development of innovative h**p-based manufacturing in Australia.

If you’re interested in sustainable materials, advanced manufacturing and the future of h**p in construction and design, it’s well worth following along.

Great to be part of the conversation at the MITEZ 2026 Priorities, Advocacy & Activation Forum.

Wandarra was proud to support the event and join industry leaders from across the MITEZ Corridor to share insights, strengthen connections, and discuss the opportunities shaping the future of North Queensland.

Collaboration across mining, manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure and emerging industries is critical to driving sustainable regional growth. Forums like this play an important role in keeping industry aligned, informed and focused on delivering outcomes for the region.

Thank you to the MITEZ team for bringing the corridor together and for the work you continue to do supporting industry across North Queensland. We look forward to continuing the conversation and the collaboration ahead.

Sustainability never sounded so good. 🎸🌿

This custom electric guitar, crafted from HB HulkBoards made with Australian-grown h**p, highlights the versatility of h**p-based materials beyond traditional construction. Inspired by the classic strat-style shape, the natural h**p tones paired with a black neck and pickguard create a striking blend of design, performance, and sustainability.

It’s a small but powerful example of what’s possible through Wandarra’s SMARTS manufacturing approach — transforming renewable resources into high-performance materials that support Australian industry and a more circular economy.

From buildings to instruments, h**p continues to prove that better materials can create better outcomes.

Great to see HulkBuild materials finding their way into premium hospitality spaces.

This beautiful tabletop at Terasu, Ardo Hotel Townsville was manufactured using HulkBoard, produced locally in Townsville from Australian-grown h**p fibre.

It’s a great example of SMARTS™ in action — Sustainable Materials and Regenerative Transformation Systems — where regenerative feedstocks are turned into high-performance materials suitable for real-world commercial applications.

From factory floor to fine dining.

Strong work from the HulkBuild team.

Practical demonstration. Real workshop conditions. No special treatment required.

This is what SMARTS™ looks like in action — Sustainable Materials and Regenerative Transformation Systems operating at commercial scale.

Regenerative materials that integrate into existing trade practices are how real transition happens.

SMARTS™ in action 🌿

HulkBuild’s recent interview with H**p Building Directory ANZ explores how regenerative Australian h**p is being transformed into high-performance construction boards — manufactured in Townsville and integrated into real-world building systems.

This is Wandarra's SMARTS™ framework at work:
Sustainable Materials and Regenerative Transformation Systems — connecting agriculture, processing and advanced manufacturing into one vertically integrated model.

From paddock to precision board, the objective is clear: scalable, bio-based materials that perform in commercial environments.
