Bamboos are fast-growing, woody grasses known for their versatility, strength, and eco-friendly nature. Found predominantly in Asia, Africa, and South America, bamboo species range from small ground cover to towering varieties over 30 meters tall. Due to their rapid growth and minimal resource requirements, bamboos are increasingly recognized as a sustainable alternative to wood, plastic, and even steel in certain applications.

Key Characteristics:

• Rapid Growth: Some species grow up to 91 cm (36 inches) in a day.

• Self-regenerating: Bamboo can regrow from its roots without replanting.

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Stronger than many hardwoods and comparable to mild steel.

• Carbon Sequestration: Bamboo absorbs more CO₂ and releases more oxygen than most plants.
