Bamboo grows in many regions of the world especially in warm climates where the earth is kept moist with frequent monsoons. Throughout Asia, from India to China, from the Philippines to Japan, bamboo thrives in natural forestlands. In China, most of bamboo grows in Yangtze River, especially in Anhui, Zhejiang Province. Today, due to increasing demand, it is being cultivated more and more in managed forests. In this region, Natural Bamboo is emerging as an important agricultural crop of increasing significance to struggling economies.

Bamboo is a member of the grass family. We are familiar with grass as a rapidly growing invasive plant. Maturing to a height of 20 meters or more in a mere four years, it is ready to harvest. And, like grass, cutting bamboo does not kill the plant. An extensive root system remains intact, allowing for rapid regeneration. This quality makes bamboo an ideal plant for areas threatened with the potentially devastating ecological effects of soil erosion.

We select 6 Year Bamboo with 6 years of maturity, selecting the base of the stalk for its superior strength and hardness. The remainders of these stalks become consumer goods such as chopsticks, plywood sheeting, furniture, window blinds, and even pulp for paper products. Nothing is wasted in processing Bamboo.

When it comes to the environment, cork and Bamboo are a perfect combination. Both are renewable, are harvested with no harm to their natural habitat, and produce materials that promote a healt human environment.
