13 Reasons Bamboo is eco-friendly

When we first started our website, many people ask us, “Why bamboo?” Actually, we have quite a lot of reasons to use bamboo. And I will list 13 undeniable ones of them for you. In addition, I will also show you 6 reasons for choosing our ECO-BOOTIQUE as your first choice of bamboo products.

1. Bamboo Has Strong Vitality

• As a type of grass, bamboo can survive on almost all kinds of soil. It doesn’t need very rich soil to grow, bamboo growers even don’t need to clear forest areas when they grow bamboo.
• Bamboo doesn’t require plenty of water. Even in drier lands, bamboo farms can thrive without water irrigation systems.
• Growing bamboo also doesn’t need much care or attention because it can grow without injurious insects, unlike cotton.
• No insecticide and fertilizers make bamboo more eco-friendly to the surrounding environment.

2. Bamboo Is The Fastest Growing Plant

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the Guinness World Record holder. You can harvest bamboo in just 3 to 5 years. Instead, if you want to harvest timber from a tree, you have to wait for 35-45 years. The short growing period of bamboo makes it more sustainable and can meet the need for production. Some people even call bamboo the “green gold”. This feature also can deal with the serious deforestation problem these years, as bamboo can replenish itself fast enough.

Besides, bamboo is an extremely renewable and sustainable material, it can regrow after you harvest it, thus you don’t need to replant it. Consequently, harvesting bamboo doesn’t cause soil erosion and nutrient cycling disturbance in the soil.

3. Bamboo Can Be Harvested Without Heavy Machinery

Bamboo is usually harvested and plowed by manual labor and requires only simple sharp tools like a saw, a small ax, a plow, or bolo, thus the fossil fuel burning is saved. Moreover, bamboo is quite light, which also saves the transportation costs and pollution caused during transportation. Instead, other materials like timber or cotton often require big hauling trucks and heavy machinery.

4. Bamboo Has Anti-bacterial Properties

Bamboo can survive in the wild without the aid of insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides. And bamboo products also remain on this property. According to the research by the Chinese Academy of Forestry, the microbial and bacterial resistance of the bamboo fiber may be related to its hygroscopicity and other extraction methods.

5. Bamboo Is Biodegradable

Bamboo, like all-natural plants, is biodegradable. It is 100% compostable within 2–6 months, depending on specific products and composting conditions. Unlike plastic, bamboo can be recycled, repurpose, reused, or just put into the compost in a convenient way.

6. Bamboo Helps Reduce Greenhouse Gases

Bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than the same volume of trees. It is a perfect choice to protect our planet. It helps absorb harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and produces clean, breathable oxygen. As we all know, carbon dioxide is one of the main criminal greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and global warming. So bamboo is totally eco-friendly.

7. Bamboo Can Be A Great Alternative To Plastic

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest environmental challenges we human beings face nowadays because plastic is refractory to degrade in the natural environment and can accumulates year after year in our natural system. Instead, bamboo, also made into a wide variety of products and use-cases, is a great natural and sustainable alternative to plastic. Bamboo products are excellent replacements for single-use plastic products that threaten our environment's safety. To protect our planet, we are supposed to use plastic less and try our best to use more sustainable products. For example, bamboo straws, bamboo toothbrushes, bamboo containers, bamboo combs， and other sustainable and eco-friendly ones.

8. Bamboo Fabric Is A Good Alternative To Cotton Fabric

Except for these advantages bamboo has as a plant, bamboo fabric can be a more eco-friendly alternative to cotton. The cotton industry is responsible for more than 10% of pesticide consumption and about 25% of the world’s insecticide usage. Chemicals from pesticides and insecticides can harm the environment. Bamboo, growing without pesticides, undoubtedly beat cotton in this aspect.

Besides, bamboo can be harvested using minimal heavy machinery and fossil fuels.

Also, Bamboo fabric is a better choice for babies than cotton fabric, you can find more details in our previous blog-9 reasons bamboo fabric is the perfect choice for your baby.

9. Bamboo Is A Great Alternative To Wood

I guess many of you have wondered why more and more wood products are slowly getting replaced by bamboo. Bamboo toilet rolls, bamboo kitchen utensils, bamboo cutleries, bamboo bathroom supplies, bamboo home displays, and more bamboo products have been used by more and more people. Not only because of the eco-friendly property of bamboo and its attractive prices, bamboo products are also more durable, moisture-proof, and anti-bacterial. All these properties make it undeniable for people to use bamboo products instead of wood ones.

10. Bamboo Is Strong And Durable

Specifically, steel has a tensile strength of 23,000 pounds per square inch, while bamboo surpasses steel with a noticeable lead at 28,000 pounds. That's why bamboo is used widely in engineering. Made from bamboo, bamboo products also remain this important property, bamboo products, such as bamboo fabric, bamboo furniture, bamboo ground mat, and so on. As we mentioned in our previous blog, bamboo is a fantastic choice for your bathroom, since bamboo bathroom products are more durable and can last for a long time.

Did you ever hear of a famous Chinese dish, bamboo-tube-cooked rice? Except for using bamboo as containers, the food cooked with bamboo tastes very delicious. Besides, bamboo shoots can be fantastic food material for humans and can be fed to livestock. As we all know, bamboo is the favorite food for pandas!

People with no jobs are given means of income by bamboo manufacturing companies and are encouraged to plant bamboo to earn money.
