Benefits of Bamboo

Bamboo is . . .

  • One of the fastest growing plants in the world. Some bamboo species can even grow one meter in one day.

  • A good greenhouse balancer of oxygen and carbon dioxide because it takes in more greenhouse gases and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.

  • Extremely diverse. It is more adaptable to different types of environments than other softwoods. There are approximately 1,000 species of bamboo.

  • A renewable resource that is abundantly available in many rural areas where economic development is limited.

  • Creating opportunities for rural, lower income communities to lift their economic situation while maintaining their culture and lifestyle. Economic studies have shown that by developing more uses for bamboo, there is the potential to provide income, food and housing to more than 2.2 billion people worldwide.

  • Allowing us to re-green degraded areas hit by natural or man-made disasters.
