The raw material
Determining how environmentally friendly a product is usually is not very easy. The environmental balance for bamboo is certainly positive. The ways in which it is grown and harvested are important environmental arguments. Every year the parent bamboo plant develops new stems, so the stems can be harvested after 5 years in a mature plantation without decreasing the size of the forest. Regular harvesting actually improves the bamboo's growing power. This way of working results in an even faster growth of new shoots and guarantees perfect quality for the following harvest.
