Renewable resource >>>
Depending on the species, bamboo can be harvested in one to five years.
Amazing growth rate >>>
Some species of bamboo grow more than three feet each day! No plant on the planet features a faster growth rate.
Very little waste >>>
After harvesting, virtually every part of the plant is used to make a wide variety of products. From soil-enriching mulch to beautiful furniture to chopsticks, every part of the plant can be utilized.
No fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides needed >>>
Unlike most cash crops, bamboo requires no agricultural chemicals to thrive. Unlike cotton, which is one of the most intensely sprayed crops in the world and rapidly depletes the nutrients in the soil, bamboo sequesters nitrogen and cultivation does not add chemicals to the environment.
A perfect substitute for wood >>>
Versatility. Bamboo can replace the use of wood for nearly every application. Paper, flooring, furniture, charcoal, building materials, and much more can be made from bamboo. What''s more, bamboo fibers are far stronger than wood fibers and much less likely to warp from changing atmospheric conditions.
