Why is bamboo so sustainable?
Bamboo is one of the most sustainable woods in the world. Bamboo can produce 35% more oxygen than any other tree in the world. Bamboo wood can be compostable and biodegradable. They are very much like grass, once cut, and will regrow continuously. It can be grown and harvested without the use of pesticides, due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 910 mm (36 in to 50 in) within a 24-hour period. That is 1 inch every 40 minutes!
