Why is bamboo, the most environmentally friendly display material for the planet?
If you’re thinking about creating a wooden display that combines environmental sustainability, strength and aesthetics, look no further than bamboo, a genus of herbs that not only looks great but also has some amazing qualities:
Strength and durability
– Bamboo has a higher tensile strength than many types of steel, a higher compressive strength than many concrete mixtures, and a higher strength/weight ratio than graphite. It can handle a maximum force of 52,000 lbs./sq. Inch.
– Compared to wood, bamboo is not knotted, so it can withstand more pressure across the entire stem.
– Due to its high silica content, bamboo cannot be digested by termites.
– The cross-sectional composition of bamboo contributes to its structural integrity all the way down to the microfiber level.
– Bamboo is better for bonding than hardwoods due to its unique chemical extracts and is lighter to transport.
– Bamboo’s unmatched resilience allowed it to survive the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima, which is closer to zero than any other form of life on the ground.
Environmental sustainability
– Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet. Some species have been timed to grow up to 4 feet in 24 hours.
– A bamboo pole can be regenerated to its full mass in 6 months, while a tree used in conventional wood takes 30 to 50 years to regenerate to its full mass.
– Bamboo can be re-harvested every three years without damaging the bamboo plant system or the surrounding environment.
– The root system of the bamboo is preserved during the regeneration process, which prevents erosion. It consumes very little water from the soil and grows well on degraded land.
– Harvesting bamboo continuously every 3-7 years can actually improve the overall health of the plant.
– Bamboo consumes carbon dioxide exponentially faster than trees (up to 12 tonnes/ha) and is so all year round due to evergreen. It also releases 35% more oxygen than trees of the same size. Scientists believe that if bamboo is planted in large quantities, it will take only 6 years to completely reverse the effects of global warming.
– Bamboo’s dense root system helps maintain soil integrity and prevents erosion and mudslides from dumping nutrients into rivers and lakes that can harm ecosystems. Some bamboo root systems were measured 120 miles from a plant.
In addition to this amazing set of properties, bamboo plywood is dimensionally stable and easy to use in the manufacture of wooden shelves, wooden display cabinets, wooden display shelves, wooden nesting tables and various wooden storage devices. Some examples of our custom and off-the-shelf bamboo displays will be shown below, as shown in the picture.
