Why Choose Fast-growing Sustainable Bamboo?

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth. The moso bamboo exhibits an extremely rapid growth rate during the first few years of its life cycle. Under optimal conditions, moso bamboo can grow up to 1 metre in 24 hours, which is about 4 cm per hour.

Moso bamboo usually reaches maturity in the third to fifth year after planting for moderate harvesting, and its lifespan is usually 60 to 100 years. At the end of its life cycle, the moso bamboo flowers, sets seed and eventually dies. However, due to the presence of bamboo rhizomes (underground stems), new seedlings will grow again, allowing the bamboo forest to regenerate itself, a characteristic that makes moso bamboo a truly sustainable and ecologically beneficial source!

Advantages of Bamboo as A Raw Material

Bamboo contains a natural antibacterial ingredient called ‘Bamboo quinone, which is effective in inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. This property gives bamboo products an advantage in terms of hygiene and health.

Bamboo is naturally antimicrobial and does not require chemical additives. The antimicrobial properties of bamboo tableware ensure that food contact surfaces are clean, reducing the likelihood of cross-contamination and providing consumers with a healthier dining experience.
