Is bamboo really sustainable?
Bamboo is a fast-growing plant. This is true according to the Guinness World Records Book. In its natural conditions, bamboo plants can grow at an average rate of 91cm per day.
At gardenbambooplants.com, we measured a typical Yellow Bamboo (Phyllostachys Areosulcata Aureculatis) to investigate how fast this bamboo grows in the UK in one growth year. We found out that it grew 1.43cm per day. This is fast compared to other garden and pot plants.
It can take 3 – 5 years for bamboo to reach maturity. This is why these plants are sustainable – they grow and regenerate fast. The cycle of bamboo life is highly sustainable.
Why are bamboo accessories eco-friendly?
Bamboos can break down into soil very quickly. Some reports have indicated that it takes just 3 years for bamboo to decompose. Therefore, they are eco-friendly.
Some accessories are 100% plant-based, including bamboo home accessories. For example, bamboo toothbrushes and soft bristles are eco-friendly products.
But, some toothbrushes and electric toothbrush heads still have nylon bristles. Other products that have a combination of bamboo and other recycled materials include the stainless steel used on shavers and plastic and silicon suctions used in kids’ plates.
The development, manufacture and use the bamboo products is a promising start. Users have to be content because, at the least, these products are 90% eco-friendly. They are safe for the environment.
Why use bamboo home accessories?
The bamboo accessories are durable and long-lasting. One of the best things about bamboo accessories is that you’ll see their true beauty as they mature. The deep brown colour becomes prominent and gives it a peculiar, but stunning bamboo appearance.
The downside is that bamboo home accessories are susceptible to wear and tear. In fact, like many other home accessories, they will wear in time.
Perhaps it is important to note that bamboo accessories are biodegradable. And will turn to soil very quickly, whereas the other plastic kitchen accessories will *not* decompose.
