The environmental impact of bamboo
Bamboo is a unique material, and this is reflected in its many striking properties. These properties have a positive impact on your comfort and on the environment. Are you among the 48% of people who consider sustainability when choosing a product? Then Bamigo is the right choice for you. When you choose bamboo, you’re directly contributing to a more sustainable environment. This infographic illustrates the impact of bamboo. Zoom in to take a closer look.
4 ways bamboo provides a positive environmental impact
Water scarcity
Bamboo grows naturally and requires no artificial watering.
Greenhouse effect
A bamboo forest absorbs an average of 5 times more CO2 than an equivalent forest of trees.
Deforestation
Each square metre of bamboo produces 10 times more product than cotton.
Soil erosion
Bamboo roots remain in the ground after the harvest, which maintains fertile soil.
Contribute to positive environmental impact by choosing bamboo
Water scarcity
Bamboo needs nothing more than sunlight and rainwater to grow. This incredible plant grows naturally and requires no artificial watering. In contrast, cultivating a single kilo of cotton consumes an average of 8,000 litres of water. In light of global water scarcity, this issue is of great importance.
Greenhouse effect
Bamboo has a high nitrogen intake, which means that it purifies the air. One hectare of bamboo forest absorbs approximately 1,000 tons of CO2 per year. On average, a bamboo forest absorbs five times more CO2 and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent forest of trees. As a result, bamboo has a highly positive impact on the greenhouse effect.
Deforestation
Cotton yields roughly 750kg of product per hectare. Bamboo produces more than 10 times as much product per hectare than cotton. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth. As a result, bamboo can be harvested four to six times per year. The less land required for plantations, the fewer trees need to be cleared.
Soil erosion
Bamboo roots remain in the ground after harvesting. The plant’s strong root system ensures that the soil remains stable, which prevents soil erosion and keeps the soil moist. Bamboo roots greatly contribute to fertile soil, bringing life above the ground into full bloom.
Bamboo is the future!
