INTRODUCTION TO OUR COMPANY
Gravitas Infinitum is taking advantage of an unprecedented opportunity in providing large corporations with long-term contracted commodity green bio-chemicals/materials and the associated green attributes (Carbon Credits) derived from our proprietary Hemp Economy Services Platform (HESP). The Platform includes: plant propagation, indoor growing and outdoor plant growing management, whole-plant hemp processing, and commodity refining of the plant’s 1,100 molecules at industrial quality and quantities.
The company has also developed “The American Gravitas Impact Project” which is integrating Agriculture, Energy, Environmental, Financial, Social and Technology Programs to Rebuild the American Economy.
In 2014, Hemp was legalized by the US Federal Government and currently being legalized across most states. The 2018 Farm Bill reclassified hemp, and it is now legal to grow industrial hemp. USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) announced a rule that outlines how states can submit plans that will enable producers to grow hemp in those areas. The worldwide market for industrial hemp was estimated to be over $6 billion and growing in 2019 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% or greater. In addition to favorable changes in U.S. law, the hemp market is benefiting from growing consumer awareness and demand for hemp-based food and a wide-range of industrial products.
Our rapid progress and overwhelming acceptance of the “10 Steps To Hemp Success” model, highlights an industry-wide need for advanced hemp processing, our ability to fill that with a technically superior and scalable approach and standardization across the entire value chain.
The US hemp industry is poised for rapid growth. It is being assembled by millions of people with little standardization, structure, and transparency. Herein lies what marketing analysts believe is one of the largest economic opportunities is the U.S. We are utilizing our experience in bringing technological innovation and building industry-wide business services platforms to successfully enter and capture a significant share of this emerging market, what many call the new “Hemp Economy”.
Gravitas brings six core strengths to fulfill the industry needs with our Hemp Economy Services Platform. These are; Purchasing Power Aggregation, Logistics Aggregation, Digital Marketing, Sales/Advertising, and Digital Transformation, Automation of business functions and Social Responsibility Values. These are areas that many businesses typically don't invest in or focus on until much later in their growth cycle. We are applying these six core strengths to a new industry that has a positive worldwide impact.

summary of operations
The American Gravitas Impact Project is about rebuilding the American Economy, beginning in the State of Florida by creating 12,000 new jobs in various industries including Agriculture, Automation, Biotechnology, Logistics, Engineering, Manufacturing and Technology. We then plan to roll-out our campuses to other states.
This is accomplished by building Campuses in six regions of Florida with the focus of creating ZERO-WASTE facilities that capture and recapture megatons of carbon. These campuses will be recycling plastic waste, of any type, into usable products. We are adapting and modernizing our agricultural approaches to produce exceptional everyday products.
In 2017, the State of Florida had 545,000 tons of plastic gathered. Only 10% was recycled. 90% went into landfills.
With Our Gravitas "Plastics Translation" Campuses, we can process 500-1000 tons of plastic per day. We replace landfills with a translation capability back into usable bio-chemicals/materials via our Hemp “Biomass Machine” Translation.
Business Strategy
Gravitas is positioned as a nexus in hemp bio chemicals/materials manufacturing.
We support two dynamic input streams; 1 currently has 54,000 acres subscribed for outdoor hemp growing; 2 high-quality continuous indoor growing. (Biomass Reserve Assets).
With the company controlling three key chokepoints in Plant Cloning, Biomass Processing, and Raw Materials Refining. (Core Competencies). This maintains a demand from the global 1,000 for combined biomaterials and carbon credits across major industries. (Long-term Offtake).
The Company’s Hemp Economy Services Platform is made up of essential primary services to produce hemp into many product streams. It is structured as a per acre subscription model, allowing small and large farmer/growers to standardize, allocate costs evenly, spread CAPEX/OPEX costs, see exactly what is going on with AWS based Cloud software, and we provide the farmer with secure recurring revenues and benefits.
3 Levels For The Hemp Economy Services Platform
We have test marketed to over 1,000 people and companies. We received overwhelming acceptance of the model. Additionally, we have registered significant market demand, and have outstanding Government support. Our rapid progress highlights an industry-wide need for a multi-faceted approach.
Independent Hemp/Cannabis Companies/Farmers/Groups on Supply Side - We are in negotiations with owners and groups representing 60,000+ acres already in crop production outside the state of Florida. These groups require an industrial solution which we provide as they scale up their operations.
Strategic Partner Groups - This is a group of very large agricultural or land holding companies, they are interested in investing in our complete ecosystem, and are interested in the long-range industrial markets. This group represents over 1,000,000 acres of land holdings, for which they are looking at 2-5% to start in hemp and see how it goes.
Global 1000 Companies on the Demand side.
