Strengthened financial position sets stage for accelerated growth
San Diego, California–(Newsfile Corp. – December 8, 2022) – Hempacco Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: HPCO) (“Hempacco” or the “Company”), a hemp smokables company focused on Disrupting Tobacco’s nearly $1 trillion industry with hemp cigarettes, smoking paper, and alternatives to nicotine tobacco products, today announced revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 277% year-over-year to approximately $3.4 million.
“Product sales were up 85% year-over-year in the third quarter,” said Sandro Piancone, Co-Founder and CEO of Hempacco. “Our industry leading partnerships and collaborations and our team’s dedication to rapidly and efficiently expanding operations are key drivers of our continued performance.”
