Straw is a co-product.

This matters when you’re counting carbon.

🎥 and this clip of 1 min 20 sec. says it all:

We will go further at the SBUK Symposium 2025.

🌾 Tangent alert: straw is not a waste product - it's a co-product.
📊 That difference matters for carbon accounting.
🧱 We explore it at the SBUK Symposium 2025.
