COMMENT Comment on this article

Bamboo is proving to be very adaptable and offers solutions to almost any design objective. The range is also available in various finishes.

Bamboo offers support to a planet with increasing amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere. It releases more oxygen than the equivalent number of conventional trees, as much as 35% in some cases. It is also capable of removing as much as 12 tons of carbon dioxide from the air per hectare (10,000 m2).

Natural sustainability is one of the most significant advantages bamboo offers over conventional timber. When a conventional tree is cut down it is gone forever, in contrast bamboo requires no replanting after harvesting. This is because it has an extensive net like root system that keeps sending up new shoots. Bamboo is a viable alternate that can limit our dependence upon already limited conventional timber resources.

Secondly, unlike with conventional trees the root structure of Bamboo can develop within the top soil of degraded land, the culms (bamboo poles) tend to grow rapidly, cover land very quickly and prevent soil run-off and produce considerable biomass.
