Cannabis in America is estimated to be worth anywhere $28 billion in 2021 to roughly $197 billion currently as more states and the federal government are expected to legalize marijuana.
However, the cannabis industry is often associated with a negative environmental impact.
Indoor cannabis grows tend to consume a lot of energy because of their heating and cooling needs; cannabis plants require a lot of water, and they often emit aromatic compounds. The cannabis industry has also been criticized for generating a lot of waste, including plastic and paper consumer packaging as well as electronic waste from vapes.
Even so, the sector is still keen on becoming more sustainable.
