...products can be made from bamboo? Clients frequently ask us about the different uses of bamboo, but the better question would be: What cannot be made from bamboo? Or as the ancient Asian saying goes: "A man is born in a bamboo cradle and goes away in a bamboo coffin. Everything in between is possible with bamboo!" - See more at: https://www.bambooimport.com/en/blog/products-made-from-bamboo#sthash.FP6BnPKt.dpuf Read more at: https://www.bambooimport.com/en/blog/products-made-from-bamboo Copyright © www.bambooimport.com A short film commissioned by INBAR for the World Expo in Shanghai, profiling bamboo - and its many innovative uses as a strong, lightweight, sustainable, carbon capturing material, including surfboards, bikes and building materials. The challenges we face today is to further improve and innovate the uses of bamboo. Since bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth and a sustainable building material, it could easily substitute all known wood applications without having to cut down entire bamboo groves or plantations. Better yet, bamboo continuously grows after harvest without having to re-plant it. Bamboo also converts about 35% more CO2 into oxygen than a regular tree. The bamboo products we see on the market today, are just the tip of the iceberg, we predict that more and more innovative bamboo applications will enter the consumer markets rapidly. Therefore it is an exciting era to live in if you are also a firm believer of how bamboo can contribute to a greener...

...forests, we need to find new ways to reduce our dependency on wood. Since bamboo is one of the fastest growing grasses, a significant converter of CO2 and potentially as strong as wood – this project will test the strength of wood against bamboo. If bamboo can support even close to the same weight as wood, we can imagine a day when bamboo can be used as a replacement. In an effort to make this experiment practical, within my appendix, I will also propose a way that we can grow bamboo in the Bay Area utilizing marginal/unused land. These areas will create revolutionary new carbon-offset zones, provide additional revenue to local governments, reduce significant amounts of CO2, develop new businesses in an emerging industry, and promote, by example, green living. Purpose: Is bamboo stronger than wood, and if so, can it help us stop global warming? Research: Hypothesis: The wood will break under the same conditions and weight before the bamboo. Materials: 9 sticks of bamboo sized per test 9 pieces of solid wood sized per test 2 large plastic buckets 2 “S” hooks Chain to attach the hooks to the wood Sand and bricks Two cement platforms to put the wood on Procedures: Lay the wood on the platforms and attach the “S” hook. Attach a bucket to the “S” hook and fill with sand/bricks until the wood breaks. Weight the bucket. Take the “S” hooks of the wood and place them on the bamboo. Attach the bucket to the “S” hooks and...

Many of our customers meet us in person at the local markets before buying, but we also gain many customers through our website (www.lebeaubamboo.com). In the coming year we plan to also start selling directly online, shipping our plants throughout Oregon to increase our customer base. My father and I have always shared a deep passion for growing plants, so we decided to start the nursery when I was twelve years old. Originally we had a focus on selling vegetable starts such as tomatoes, peppers, corn and squash. In the beginning bamboo was only a small part of the business. As our collection of bamboo species and varieties grew from five to ten to fifty, I began to realize how different bamboo was from other plants and ultimately how useful they could be. I am now 20 years old and studying public accounting, CPA track, at Southern Oregon University. My father has been teaching...

...Cultivation For those who derive their livelihoods from bamboo cultivation, bamboo o ers a number of bene ts and has relatively high levels of growth and income security. 1. Quick growth = short rotation Bamboos grow very fast, with speeds of up to 1 m in 24 hours. Productive groves can be established from scratch in 10 years and individual culms harvested after 3-6 years (depending upon species). The benefits of this short rotation time include lower levels of exposure to outside risks such as fire, and flexibility to change management and harvesting practices relatively quickly when facing climatic changes. 2. Short rotation = low financial outlay, quick recouping The fast growth and early maturation of bamboo culms means that a bamboo stand can be selectively harvested - extracting older culms and leaving younger ones to grow - without decreasing total stand biomass. Annual harvesting of bamboo generates a regular income stream that gives bamboo farmers a quick return on their investment and an important annual safety net. 3. Plant-it-and-leave-it Bamboos don’t need much tending once planted. They self-mulch by continuously shedding their leaves, and don’t need lots of fertilizer to grow. If not sold to provide part of the family’s income, bamboo culms can be used for farming and utilitarian applications (housing, fencing, implements). 4. Plant anywhere Most bamboos can grow marginal lands, such as degraded land and steep...

...Capture by Beema Bamboo By Dr N. Barathi, Growmore Biotech Ltd Climate change has become one of the major challenges for mankind and the natural environment. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions released into the atmosphere in ever rapidly growing volumes are recognised to be responsible for this change. Carbon dioxide is one of the major green house gas which can be effectively brought down fast by trees that grows fast by absorbing co2. Beema Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth, grows one and half feet a day in India. Beema Bamboo acts as a carbon sink for CO2 emission of Chennai. When fossil fuels are burnt, carbon is removed from below ground (gas and oil wells and coal mines) and release into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). This is a greenhouse gas that increases the risk of global warming. In contrast, Bamboo (like all other plants) removes CO2 from the atmosphere and incorporates it into plant tissue, both above and below the ground. “Bio Carbon Capture” by bamboo is an approach to neutralize the fossil fuel emissions, based on capturing Carbon di-oxide from the atmospheric air by the process of photosynthesis by fast growing clones of bamboo-Beema, specially developed for high biomass production as bio-carbon sink. The carbon di-oxide can then be prominently stored in the woods of bamboo or can be used for generating Carbon Neutral Energy. Though the carbon di-oxide capture is done by all plants and trees, the special Beema bamboo developed absorbs...

...environmental concerns from synthetics, many sustainable furniture manufacturers utilize natural products such as fast-growing bamboo and recycled wood products because they are renewable ("What Is Sustainable Furniture", 2013). However, there are two sides to every coin. Sustainable furniture still has an impact on the environment by utilizing fossil fuels for the necessary operations and the potential to damage the ecosystems and habitats within the forest. Native trees can be cut down to grow the sustainable varieties which disrupts the natural processes of the ecosystem. Tree farms can be treated with pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers and can be genetically modified in order to grow more sustainable trees. Practices that lead to deforestation and clear-cutting, where whole forests are leveled at once and the ecosystem is demolished are not very sustainable. Bamboo is not a tree at all, it is an incredibly fast-growing and versatile grass that has become the unofficial poster material of environmental designers and builders. The majority of bamboo comes from China and is often grown with no pesticides, however, there are some growers that do use pesticides and other chemical inputs. Bamboo also uses a lot of water because it is so fast growing, it and harvesting it too fast can deplete soil fertility ("How To Go Green: Furniture", 2013). When bamboo is grown outside of its natural habitat it disturbs that areas ecosystems and food webs and has an accelerated potential for...

...INTRODUCTION **** marketing definition Macro economics is the study of the behaviour and trends in the economy as a whole involving the analysis of six major forces to identify possible opportunities and threats available to the organisation. To illustrate these forces, the hypothetical “Bamboo Company” (located in Sydney New South Wales) will be used. This organisation has prided itself on the use of recyclable and renewable resources where possible and as a result, has developed the Bambicycle. This entry level hybrid bicycle combines the best attributes of a road bike and a mountain bike in one as well as being constructed by bamboo which is one of the world’s fastest growing renewable resources. An analysis of the six macroeconomic influences with reference to the Bamboo Company are as follows: THE DEMOGRAPHIC ENVIRONMENT Demographics is the statistical study of the population as a whole, consisting of the following variables and how they will affect the bicycle marketing environment: – The changing age structure of population “Australia's population, like that of most developed countries, is ageing as a result of sustained low fertility and increasing life expectancy” (Australian Bureau of Statistics [ABS], 2010a para 7). The proportion of the population aged 65 years and over is projected to increase from 13% in 2007 to between 23% and 25% in 2056, and 25% and 28% in 2101 (ABS, 2010c para 15) with the first...

...flowers, rivers, and rain fall. Among all the different species of animals that share the jungle, one in particular stands out: the giant panda. The pandas live a peaceful and harmless life high in the remote mountainous regions of central China. The bamboo forests grow high, and are cool and wet—just the way the pandas prefer them to be. Pandas will climb upwards to 13,000 feet (3,962 meters) to feed on the bamboo that grows in their habitat; during the summer seasons, they will venture even higher. Pandas mainly feed on bamboo, but will eat birds or rodents as well. It is in this peaceful bamboo jungle habitat that the giant panda gives birth to and nurtures its young. The Giant Panda is one of the rarest and most exotic animals this world has given birth to. Pandas are mammals; they’re omnivores. The average lifespan in the wild for a healthy Panda is twenty years. The sizes they grow to are four to five feet (one to one and a half meters) tall and weigh upwards to 300 pounds (136 kilograms). In the past few decades the Chinese Giant Pandas have been added to the endangered species list because of their decreasing numbers. The Pandas made the list due to false pregnancies, poachers, poor nurturing, and lack of bamboo growth. First, pandas are slowly decreasing in numbers because of lack of reproduction. Pandas in the wild and zoos (artificial habitats) are losing interest in one another because of loss of habitat, food, and freedom. Over the decades there has been...
