RAW Plastic 110mm Joint Roller — the hemp-based rolling machine
The RAW plastic 110mm joint roller is a hemp-composite rolling machine that produces consistent, tightly packed joints up to king-size length. It's the world's first plastic-free roller, built from 100% hemp composite plastic — fully biodegradable, fully recyclable, and roughly five times stronger than conventional plastic according to RAW. If you want to buy a roller that won't outlive you in landfill, this is the one to get.
Why pick the RAW hemp roller over a standard plastic one
Because it rolls exactly like a normal machine but isn't made from petroleum-based plastic. RAW has been making rolling papers since the early 2000s and this is their answer to the mountain of disposable rollers clogging drawers around the world. The hemp composite is made from the lipids and cellulose in hemp seeds and stalks — the same plant you're probably rolling up anyway.
From our counter: we've handled a lot of 110mm rollers over the years. The cheap clear-plastic ones crack at the hinge within a few months, usually right when you're packing for a festival. This one has a noticeably denser, matte-finish shell with a slight earthy tint — it feels more like a kitchen utensil than a disposable gadget. The rolling pins are smooth, the tension is right, and the mechanism is identical to every other 110mm roller on the market, so there's no learning curve if you've used one before.
Honest limitation: it's still a plastic roller in the sense that it's a moulded composite shell. If you were expecting wood or metal, this isn't that. What it is: a drop-in replacement for your old plastic one that won't sit in landfill for 400 years. Compared to a typical acrylic roller from a corner shop, the RAW feels heavier in the hand and the hinge action is firmer — closer to the old-school metal Zen rollers than the flimsy clear plastic ones you usually get thrown in with papers.
What you get with a 110mm rolling machine
110mm is the king-size length — built for fat joints, spliffs, and anything rolled on king-size slim or king-size wide papers. If you've been hand-rolling and your cones keep coming out loose in the middle or blowtorching down one side, a 110mm machine sorts that in about ten seconds per roll.
| Roller size | Best for | Paper size |
|---|---|---|
| 70mm | Single-skin joints, cigarettes | Regular / 1¼ |
| 79mm | 1¼ joints | 1¼ |
| 110mm (this one) | King-size joints, spliffs, fat cones | King-size slim / king-size wide |

How to use the RAW hemp roller
Loading and rolling takes under a minute once you've done it twice. Follow these steps:
- Open the machine by lifting the front rolling pin up and towards you.
- Spread your herb evenly across the middle of the rollers. Don't overfill — 0.5–1g is plenty for a king-size.
- Drop a filter or pre-rolled tip into one end, then push the two pins together to close it.
- Roll the front pin with your thumbs a few times to settle and compress the herb.
- Slide a king-size paper in along the front pin, gummed edge facing you and pointing up.
- Roll the pins again until only the gummed strip is visible.
- Lick the gum, give it one more roll to seal, then open the machine and pull out a perfectly packed joint.
Why you need a rolling machine (even if you can hand-roll)
A rolling machine gives you even density from tip to tail, which is the one thing hand-rolling struggles with. Hand-rolling a clean king-size is a skill and anyone who tells you otherwise is showing off. The two main failure modes we see: too loose in the middle (canoes down one side when you light it) and too tight at the tip (won't draw). A 110mm roller sorts both by applying even pressure along the full length of the joint before the paper ever touches it.
The other reason: waste. A decent roll takes one paper. A bad hand-roll takes three, and the tobacco or flower that spills out along the way adds up. Over a month of casual use, a machine pays for itself in papers alone — a good reason to buy one even if you're a confident hand-roller.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the RAW hemp roller really biodegradable?
Yes — RAW states the hemp composite is 100% biodegradable and recyclable. It breaks down far faster than petroleum-based plastic, though you'll still want to dispose of it properly rather than tossing it in the garden.
What size papers do I use with a 110mm roller?
King-size slim or king-size wide. Regular or 1¼ papers are too short and will leave herb exposed at the ends. RAW Classic King Size Slim is the natural match.
Can I roll with a filter or tip?
Yes, and we'd recommend it. Drop a rolled card tip or a RAW pre-rolled tip into one end before closing the machine — it keeps the joint structured and stops loose herb from ending up in your mouth.
How much herb fits in a 110mm joint?
Around 0.5–1g comfortably, depending on grind and how tight you pack it. According to the Cannabiz Credit Association, a typical joint contains 0.25–0.5g, so a 110mm gives you room for a generous session joint without overstuffing.
Does it work with hemp wraps and non-RAW papers?
Yes. The mechanism is standard — any king-size paper or hemp wrap that fits a 110mm roller will work. The hemp composite shell doesn't affect rolling behaviour in any way.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the rollers with a dry cloth or a cotton bud every few weeks to remove resin and plant debris. Avoid soaking it — the hemp composite handles moisture fine, but water can sit in the seams and slow the mechanism.
Where can I buy the RAW 110mm hemp roller in the Netherlands?
You can order it directly from the Azarius shop in Amsterdam — easy to find on Google Maps if you're visiting the city, or shipped across Europe if you'd rather get it delivered.
How does it compare to a standard acrylic roller?
The mechanism is identical, but the shell feels denser and the hinge is stiffer. The big difference is end-of-life: hemp composite breaks down, acrylic doesn't.
