Why Choose Bamboo Products?

With all of the world now starting to recognise that we need to do more to help sustain and repair the planet, it's time to start looking at Bamboo as 1 plant that can help us do so much, for so little. For many centuries bamboo has been used in general life. Bridges have been built from Bamboo, rafts used to be built from Bamboo while homes are still built from bamboo in certain areas of the world. So why can't we utilise bamboo more?? Well, we can…

I expect many people have been using bamboo and not even realise it. More and more general-purpose products have been made from bamboo over the recent years. Most of the items you will see within your house will be around the kitchen area. Check out the following and see if you can spot some bamboo in your house

  • Utensils
  • Chopping Boards
  • Storage Boxes
  • Jar lids and box lids
  • Salt and Pepper Grinders
  • Handles
  • Clothes racks
  • Trays
various wooden, ceramic and bamboo kitchen utensils

These are just some of the quick items where I suspect most households will be using bamboo.

As a general base material, Bamboo is a lot more efficient than other woods. Compared to trees in general, bamboo only needs around 1 year of growth to be ready for harvest, some varieties need even less. Compared to an Oak tree which will take 70 years+ to generate a good yield.

Bamboo is also antifungal and antibacterial which means that pesticides are not required for maintaining a bamboo field. Put this with its small need for water and it really makes you wonder why we aren’t utilising this product a lot more in our lives?

There are many ways in which you can start changing your everyday routines to start helping the environment. The list below is just a couple of ideas that show how we can all make some small changes, which put together, can really add up to something amazing

Benefits of using Bamboo

Bamboo is one of the worlds fastest-growing plants and is being seen as one of the best eco-friendly alternatives to natural wood and some plastics. Bamboo can be used to make anything from Furniture to utensils, Toothbrushes to hair combs and even toilet paper and clothing!

Bamboo is often mistaken for being a tree, but officially it is classified as grass.

While Growing, bamboo captures more carbon from the air and releases up to 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than a same-sized tree.

Is Bamboo Strong?

The simple answer is Yes. Bamboo is a very lightweight material however its tensile capabilities can be up to 3 times stronger than timber. Due to its lightweight, it can be easily transported and is a lot more flexible for shaping to its desired form.

Is Bamboo Safe and Hygienic?

Again, Yes! Bamboo naturally has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties making it very safe and hygienic without needing any chemicals. Bamboo extract is used in many skin and hair treatments due to its natural properties.

Is bamboo good for the environment?

VERY! Bamboo on average absorbs twice as much carbon as regular trees. It is quick to grow meaning fields can be replenished quickly without needing large areas to be left to mature for tens of years.
