Moso Bamboo forests have many environmental benefits, because they absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, control soil conditions, produce organic matter, conserve biological diversity, beautify the landscape, and contribute to the cleansing and sustainable development of the environment. Bamboo captures massive amounts of carbon dioxide which then converts into oxygen. Agriculture studies in commercial bamboo plantations in Italy show that Moso Bamboo has the capability of capturing 52 tons of carbon dioxide per acre in the first 7 years after planting.

Statistics which are vital for the international system of carbon trading.

Beyond the mere business interests, our Planet is in danger and our future is at stake. Bamboo Plantations offer an ethical environmental solution consisting of precious food, textiles and building materials. Continuously falling Bamboo leaves enrich the soil releasing vital rich compost, thus creating the ideal conditions for plant life to prosper. Landfills could be brought back to their original cultivation offering generous profits and materials. One Acre of Moso Bamboo Forest can store over 74,000 liters of water in its culms throughout rainy season which gradually gets deposited back into the soil during dry season.

How can Moso Bamboo improve on hardwood?

Chop down a hardwood tree and it’s gone, it will be many decades to for another to grow in its place. Bamboo is a grass, not a tree. Under the right conditions, it can grow almost 3 feet per day. Bystanders can actually watch it grow. A new bamboo plant is ready to harvest after three to six years, contingent on the species. Most important, bamboo is renewable. Dissimilar from hardwood trees, bamboo regrows after harvesting, just as grass regrows after being cut, this renewable resource is one of the fastest growing plant species. The bamboo has the properties to absorb the pollutants present in the atmosphere. OnlyMoso Bamboo forms an excellent noise barrier, windbreaker and has no impact on deforestation. Companies being conscious and intentional about the sustainability and environmental impacts of farming does not mean that a solid business plan and profits should be sacrificed

“We can conclude that the bamboo industry is entirely innovative, eco-supportive, and profitable”.
