Yes, hemp can 100% replace plastic. The only catch is that right now in the market, plastic is so cheap because there is such a high demand for it. Hemp is an all rebound better alternative, but the market is such a niche for hemp made products that the price is very high. Over time, hemp will hopefully catch more eyes and become cheaper than traditional plastics.
Hemp also holds up to extreme temperatures as well. Because it is such an excellent insulator, it can handle the heat.

Hemp plastic does hold up well in extreme temperatures because hemp plastic is heat resistant. Hemp fibers start to degrade at around 150-200 degrees Celsius, the melting point for regular plastic is 100-120 degrees Celsius. Hemp plastic is entirely non-toxic and biodegradable, making it far more earth-friendly than your standard polyurethane plastics.

Hemp plastic is biodegraded, but it is also five times stiffer and 2 ½ times more durable than regular plastics. Hemp plastic is heat resistant, so it’s excellent for use in the kitchen.

From everything I have read seems to make me think it would. There appears to be an industry standard of up to 10% difference (weaker) than standard plastic in the most extreme temperatures.
