THE CYNTHIA PROJECT BY IN-BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL
From the world’s most invasive aquatic plant to a sustainable raw material
WATER HYACINTH
Where others see a problem, we see a resource
Water hyacinth has invaded rivers and lakes worldwide. It chokes rivers, destroys biodiversity and blocks livelihoods. We clear choked waterways and turn its stems and leaves into natural fiber, fine powder and purified water.
