We can now harness the carbon scavenging power of Japanese knotweed and other invasive plants, explains Nic Seal, Founder and MD of Environet, a UK specialist in the topic. As far back as 2008 we thought it eco-crazy to dig up knotweed infested soils from one site only to dump it in a landfill site, many miles away.
