Think Bamboo and ONNO Textiles have made the wonder of the sustainable grass bamboo into an obsession. Varied and useful products helping worldwide resource problems. From Think Bamboo Website:
Bamboo is actually a type of grass, and like grass, it is a very rapidly renewable resource. Once processed, it can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is harder than maple and has the same tensile strength as steel, yet it can be spun and woven into silky soft textiles. As we become more aware of our strong and lasting impact on the environment, it is important to make choices that minimize this impact, and preserve our resources for generations to come. This is another appealing aspect of working with bamboo. It is arguably the most renewable resource in the world.
Since bamboo is a grass, it does not die when harvested, and thus does not require replanting. The root system of the plant remains alive and sends up new shoots that will mature and be ready for harvest again in as little as 4 years. Hardwoods by comparison need 25-70 years to mature.
