Hemp is one of the oldest crops in the world. Its high mechanical resistance, its resistance to pests and its insensitivity to water make it a very valuable resource for many products. Hemp grows very fast and high. It can be harvested after about 4 months. In addition to the fibres, the shives (lignified part) of the plant are interesting for the production of the boards.

This perennial grass is a very resistant and at the same time easy to care for plant. If at all, the use of fertilisers is necessary only in the first year. The plant survives the winter months with an underground rhizome. From spring to late autumn it shoots new stems up to 3 metres high which dry over the winter period and are ready to harvest the following spring (April/May). The Miscanthus plant has a great impact on our climate. Per hectare, the plant binds up to 36 tonnes of CO2 per year. Moreover, with approximately 10 - 12 tonnes per hectare, the Miscanthus plant produces an unusually high amount of biomass.

Straw is a raw material that incidentally accumulates in agriculture and thus there is no extra growing involved. Wheat, rapeseed or corn for example make very good insulation and building materials.

Because of its sustainable characteristics, sea grass is an interesting resource that can easily compete with other natural resources. It has an extremely long lifetime and is rot-resistant. It is easy to process. For example, sea grass can be compressed without breaking. Because of its natural salt content, sea grass does not burn very well.
