Bamboo is showing up everywhere these days, from flooring and furniture to wall coverings and cabinetry. And why not? Bamboo is a versatile, renewable and responsible alternative to hardwoods and synthetics.
The reason for bamboo’s emerging popularity and trend in interior design is that it is a renewable source, absorbs greenhouse gases, has an amazing growth rate and very little waste (almost every part of the plant is used after harvesting). Bamboo can replace the use of wood for nearly every application. Paper, flooring, furniture, charcoal and building materials can be made from bamboo. Bamboo needs no fertilizer, pesticides or herbicides to thrive and can be grown in a variety of climates.
