Water may be recoverable, but what about phosphorus? And why wicker instead of processed plant waste from the food being grown? Quite a bit of agricultural waste should be produced. It would make sense to use that instead of growing reeds.

Yea fibrous plant waste could be a great alternative for small products. I'm imagining something similar to the Agave Fiber straws you occasionally see. They hold up super well in water and seem like they have a higher tensile strength than their plastic alternatives.
