Professor Hans Joosten:

I can give some examples of cattails or reeds that we cultivate. We can easily make high-quality construction material, insulation plates and so on. Companies might say that if an annual harvest of 100 ha of cattails can be provided, they will build a factory next to the production site. It is economically viable on this scale. We have to think about such matters as how we can use the unique properties of peatland and wetland plants to make products that we need in the future.
