How this UK-based firm is growing a more sustainable cannabis

U.K.-based Glass Pharms claims to be the world's first firm to grow cannabis in a carbon-neutral way. It actually says it goes one better, and produces in a carbon-negative way — without buying carbon credits that would usually offset emissions.

The business was set up in 2020 and finished building its greenhouse cultivation facility in the south of England in 2023.

CEO James Duckenfield said there is a "real demand for cannabis as a medicine for genuine reasons in the U.K., and that need was really not being met well."
