I want to envision an alternative narrative about the infamous Giant Hogweed by transforming the invasive plant into a series of new material applications.

The natural material replaces various traditional materials; like foam, veneer, and cardboard. I want to change the weedy plant into a potential new crop with these new applications.

The plant spreads quickly on unused sites, requires no maintenance, and is extremely lightweight. Invasive plants like the Giant Hogweed could shape the material source of the future.
