Bamboo as a natural source of raw material has a wide range of applications as it has high water absorbability, high strength and is weather proof making it a great option for indoor and outdoor products. It is abundantly available in nature and requires very less irrigation or fertilizers for a healthy growth. Bamboo is biodegradable thus bamboo based products do not pollute the environment after its useful life.

Other Environmental advantages of using bamboo are as follows:

• As bamboo is a grass it can mature in 60 to 180 days and minimizes CO2 gases and generates up to 35% more oxygen than equivalent stand of trees.
• A single stand of bamboo can yield over 200 poles in 5 years.
• It not only cleans the air but does miracles for the soil and groundwater as well.
• Bamboo helps reduce water pollution due to its high nitrogen consumption.
• Has widespread root system as well as an enveloping canopy that makes it a great barrier to control soil erosion.
• Keeps twice so much water in the watershed.
• Protects surrounding environment during cyclones due to its height.
• Minimizes CO2 gases (sequesters up to 12 tons of CO2 from the air per hectare).
• Bamboo needs less water and chemicals for irrigation.
• Bamboo can help combat climate change because the use of bamboo as a building material saves more hardwood trees from logging.
