Because of its rapid growth rate bamboo is one of the most sustainable natural resources that one can find. The bamboo culms or stems that emerge each year are all marked, so that the age of each stem is known. The stems reach their full height (normally over 20m) in about 2 years, and then mature to optimal hardness in about 5 years.
The oldest stems in each clump can be harvested on an annual basis without killing the plant,
and without leaving a deforested, denuded landscape.
Compare this with typical hardwood trees, which take well over 40 years to mature, and are then killed when harvested, with the associated deforestation and habitat destruction problems. Deforestation is one of the leading causes of global warming and climate change. In contrast,
the bamboo harvesting methodology has won international sustainability awards. Panda Bamboo's products have received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification for sustainable forestry management practices.
Environmental Benefits
- Bamboo offers the same quality, warmth and visual appeal of solid wood, but without the negative environmental impacts.
- Bamboo forests also absorb more CO2 per hectare than equivalent timber forests, and bamboo products, in fact, have a net positive carbon footprint; more CO2 is consumed by the plants while they are growing than is released during the manufacture and transport of the finished products.
