▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Antimicrobial hemp-based plastic composition comprises 5-80% hemp material and a thermoplastic resin and further comprises an antimicrobial additive, where presence of the additive prevents or minimizes microbial growth in the material or in contact with the material. USE - As antimicrobial hemp-based plastic composition. ADVANTAGE - The composition exhibits behaviors similar to those possessed by traditional petroleum plastics, adopts additives to promote antimicrobial properties of the plastic, is capable of serving the same role as petroleum plastic polymers and sourced from sustainable, renewable, and environmentally friendly resources, specifically material obtained from an extraction process and can prevent or minimize microbial growth in the material or in contact with the material. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of making any of the composition involving forming a combination comprising the hemp material, the thermoplastic resin and the antimicrobial additive to create a polymeric base composition such that 5-80% composition is hemp material, exposing the base composition to conditions chosen from at least two of elevated heat; elevated pressure; combination with a fourth material; a molding, injecting, layering or extruding process, and a finishing process and recovering the composition.
