About Us

We do not use it much and it is not sold by us. Bamboo grown mainly in East Asia is one of the most useful and beautiful plants there is, it is used for construction and furnishing, clothing and even food. It grows in various places from Asia, Australia to Chile in South America. It can be used as an ornamental plant in the house or garden but its use mainly as a garden or eloquent fence.

bamboo

The bamboo is from the cereal family, it is perceived as a primitive herb that can grow in all kinds of areas, let it grow in arid and very rainy places depending on the area where it grows it changes its shapes, mossy, thin or tree-shaped shrub. There are about 1,400 different species of bamboo. It can grow in different types of climates, it can be found in cold regions and high places or in warm tropical places. Types of bamboo can be found in Northeast Asia, South and East Asia, South and Western Australia, Africa, and the Americas and South America.

The bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. And hence the advantage of growing it and using bamboo for a variety of things. Some argue that its growth can reach a whole meter a day. Bamboo is becoming a major resource in eco-conscious industries that prefer not to rely on petroleum products.

The bamboo canes are used for building houses, scaffolding, building toy bridges, eloquent, musical instruments, and even for clothing and food.

Bamboo plays an important role in ecological restoration

The ecological and environmental challenges of all of us to preserve the planet are enormous, from climate change, deforestation to deforestation, the planet needs our help now otherwise our grandchildren will have no world left to live on. The world needs to unite and everyone can do to contribute to improving the situation, although there is no single solution to the challenges before us, but amazingly, the bamboo plant can provide a solution in a variety of areas. My goal is to raise awareness about the benefits of bamboo, the incorporation of bamboo into our lives can contribute to the preservation of the planet. My goal is to provide tools and knowledge that will allow each of us to help even a little.

Bamboo is the most useful plant in the world, its uses are many: aircraft skeletons, scaffolding for buildings, food, house building, furniture, clothing and more. It grows rapidly and has high durability. It is considered one of the most powerful plants on earth. And its big advantage is its rapid growth there are species that grow at 47 inches a day.

In addition, bamboo preserves the environment and air. It is green, growing fast and in almost any climate. Bamboo reduces light intensity and protects against ultraviolet radiation. It releases 35% more oxygen and produces 10 times more cellular material than trees of equivalent size. It is easy to work with and does not require large machines for pruning or processing.

Bamboo as a renewable resource

In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the benefits of bamboo. Bamboo is becoming the ultimate substitute for wood in the manufacture of many furniture and products. We are seeing an increase in bamboo-rich industries that are occupying a central place in the production of a variety of new quality products. These industries, in addition to being less polluting and protecting the environment, currently provide income to about 2 billion people worldwide.

Bamboo occupies a central place in the replacement of plastic products. You will see children’s utensils that were previously made of plastic that was perceived as a pollutant and now you can find these bamboo products. Bamboo is non-polluting and is available almost everywhere in the world.

Home

In various cities in Costa Rica and other cities in South America known to be prone to earthquakes, thousands of homes have been built in national projects. These houses are the only ones left standing in a rut after the severe earthquake that struck Lemon in 1992. Flexibility and lightness are the features that allow the bamboo structure to “dance” during the earthquake and stay standing. Bamboos were also planted in these places that serve as a shelter during the earthquake and raw material for shelter after it.

food

Bamboo twigs have been known as human food for thousands of years and feed millions. In Asian countries bamboo wicker is a well-known dish that can be found in every kitchen.

Medical use

Bamboo is used in Chinese medicine and Indian yur Veda medicine. The powder extracted from the bamboo is used as a remedy for coughs and asthma. Bamboo is also used to cure liver problems. New drugs derived from bamboo are used to treat prostate problems and more.

Additional uses of bamboo

Drift prevention

Growing bamboo along weak river banks helps prevent erosion to the home area due to a branched and strong bamboo rhizome system that creates an excellent protection system near water sources. The bamboo roots hold the soil and form a kind of plexus that prevents soil erosion. Today, bamboo is also used on steep slopes, areas prone to earthquakes or mudslides. The huge advantage of bamboo is that it does not require much and therefore can be grown even in overused lands in normal agriculture. Unlike other trees, prudent felling of bamboo does not kill the plant that continues to shed new branches every year.

Preserving the rainforests

If in the past wood was used to build houses, today bamboo is one of the most powerful building materials. In the tropical areas where bamboo growing is common, bamboo can be planted from which houses are built. In Costa Rica, about 1,000 bamboo houses are built each year, specially grown for this purpose in a plot of only 60 dunams. Such a project from ordinary wood would require a growing area of about 500 dunams of forest.

The use of bamboo as a substitute for wood saves the rainforests. If we compare the yield of bamboo to trees it can be seen that a tree until it reaches its size takes at least 10 years while during this time at least ten bamboo crops can be produced without the need for replanting. While a tree that is felled should be replanted and wait at least 10 years until the tree matures.

Worldwide 1250 species of bamboo in the world that can grow in different climatic environments with precipitation regimes ranging from 600 mm of rainfall per season. Bamboo cultivation reimburses its initial expenditure in a span of 5-7 years. The governments of India and China have 1.5 million hectares of bamboo crops (together), Commit to giving priority to the economic applications of the bamboo and paying special attention to its preservation.

There is no doubt that in the coming years we will see a lot more bamboo and bamboo products in our lives.
