	Older uses included the thatching of roofs, paper-making, ornamenting small surfaces as a “straw-mosaic” for plaiting into door and table mats, mattresses, and for weaving and plaiting into light baskets, artificial flowers, etc. Some of these uses are labor-intensive but machines could be developed to do some of this work. More recent uses include things like the production of [[butanol]] via [[Acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation\|ABE fermentation]] (not currently profitable).
