Among many other things: furniture, flooring, rugs, towels, clothing, stationery, ornaments, medicine, food and the most popular of all, bamboo underwear. You can even buy a bamboo bicycle should you feel so inclined. Its popularity as a multi-purpose resource seems to be on the up as well, with over 10 million search engine results for ‘bamboo products’, and big-name stockists including John Lewis and Robert Dyas all including bamboo products. Why is it green? Farming bamboo is far more gentle on the environment than most other raw materials as it is a rapidly growing evergreen plant, with 10 times the yield of cotton. It’s biodegradable and requires no chemical assistance to grow like crazy. On a more practical note, bamboo fabric products are breathable, which means they don’t need to be washed as often as synthetics. Bamboo can also grow purely by depending on rainfall, which equals even less water wasted. So, what else is good about bamboo? ‘Engineers without borders’ see bamboo as a solution to the issue of affordable housing, as do many socially conscious construction companies. In the USA, bamboo is being used as a hurricane-proof building material, whilst much of the reconstruction work in Haiti is thanks to bamboo. The World Bamboo Organisation and CO2 Bambu are key players in the redevelopment of Haiti, providing housing that is kind to the environment as well as making people feel safe. In fact, the only downside seems to be the environmental cost of importing bamboo from the countries where it has traditionally been grown. However, the plant is resilient enough to grow well in many more countries and this will become all the more necessary as bamboo continues to establish itself as a mainstream resource. Year Round Use Bamboo blankets have the unique ability to thermal regulate, meaning they will actually help keep individual's warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The attributes of bamboo fibres allow for the even flow and spread of body heat, keeping the body from overheating while sleeping. For this reason, they're practical for use the whole year round.
