New load-bearing and insulating building material made from cattail (typha)
The agricultural cultivation of cattail (Latin: typha) as a raw material for industrial use has numerous ecological and economic advantages.
The leaves have a fiber-reinforced supporting tissue filled with a soft open-cell spongy mass, giving them outstanding structural strength and excellent insulating properties.
Building material from bulrushes is predestined for industrial use due to its enormous productivity. The Fraunhofer IBP shows the cultivation of typha.
