The foundation for biobased construction with a positive climate impact
Miscanthus: the foundation for biobased construction
Miscanthus is a fast-growing perennial crop that reaches up to 4 meters tall and captures large amounts of CO₂. This non-invasive hybrid delivers high-quality fibers for biobased construction applications while contributing to healthier soil and greater biodiversity.
At Dealin.Green, we use Miscanthus as a future-proof crop that connects agriculture and construction — from the field to the application.
Why choose Miscanthus?
“I was looking for something that requires little work, does yield returns, and fits these times. Miscanthus simply suits our business well. We hardly have to look after it, and yet it yields something every year. Moreover, it is nice that it also contributes to CO₂ reduction.”
“Ik was op zoek naar iets dat weinig werk vraagt, wél opbrengst geeft, en past bij deze tijd. Miscanthus past gewoon goed bij ons bedrijf. We hoeven er bijna niet naar om te kijken, en toch levert het ieder jaar iets op. Bovendien is het mooi dat het ook nog eens bijdraagt aan CO₂-reductie.”
