Bamboo use and consumption are not just limited to pandas. We can also add it to our lives for making adopting a sustainable lifestyle. Let’s see why we need bamboo products!

Eliminates the hazards posed by plastic

As we know that disposable plastic products are so widely used, from kitchenware to packaging items, plastic is literally everywhere. They may be easy to produce, but they never degrade completely and only break down to small microplastics. This process need take several years. Many plastic wastes reach oceans and water bodies, polluting them and endangering marine life. Bamboo serves as a perfect alternative for plastic because it can biodegrade completely and the other beneficial characteristics it offers such as durability, elasticity and strength.

Availability

Bamboo is found in ample quantities worldwide. It is a grass plant that grows easily within a shorter duration than other plant species and is strong against pest attacks. Bamboo predominantly grows in Asia, but it can adapt to other climate conditions and sustain in different countries.

Bamboo is self-regenerating, which makes it a renewable resource. Its sturdy characteristics allow it to grow in various climatic conditions.

Viable option than wood

Wood or cotton will eventually reach a crisis stage, but bamboo will never be lacking because it’s regenerative. Harvesting bamboo plantations takes only 3-5 years, where most trees take longer, say 10-20 years. In China, Anji county, where our company locates, is synonymous with bamboo. Not only It's the home for millions of acres natural bamboo forests, but also we are blessed with a ran-deep bamboo artisan and craftsman culture.

Bamboo is tenacious, rigid and moisture resistant, so it’s a preferred alternative to wood. It is also much cheaper than timber.

Good for the environment

Bamboo plantations restore the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere, thereby improving air quality. Cultivating bamboo does not require any chemicals or herbicides due to its pest resistance property. Chopping down trees for obtaining wood creates wastes and contributes to soil erosion. Whereas, harvesting bamboo generates little waste and it protects the soil because the roots remain intact.

Bamboo plantations reduce our overall carbon footprint along with helping us fight with climate change issues. It serves as a great alternative for planting trees having a short growth cycle and high CO2 exchange rate.
