ADVANTAGES OF BAMBOO PRODUCTS

BAMBOO AND ITS ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Bamboo is one of the world's most prolific and fastest-growing plants and is able to reach maturity in about four years. The average person is usually astounded when learning that there are more than 1000 documented uses of bamboo. Bаmbоо wood is a plentiful, renewable, and natural рrоduсt with many super сhаrасtеrіѕtісѕ. The Royal Craft Wood team collects all the benefits of bamboo products to show you everything about this magic plant.

NATURAL AND CHEMICAL-FREE

Bamboo іѕ grоwn without uѕіng реѕtісіdеѕ оr chemical fеrtіlіzеrѕ. Bаmbоо fiber іѕ 100% biodegradable. As it is a grass rather than a tree, it can quickly grow to a harvestable size. The environmental benefits don’t stop there. Bamboo’s root systems are an effective reinforcement against soil erosion. Due to its fast-growing nature, bamboo farms that make responsible use of available land are an incredibly potent form of carbon sequestration.

SUSTAINABLE AND A RENEWABLE RESOURCE

You will be thrilled to know that bamboo wood is a sustainable and renewable product.  This makes it eco-friendly. When it comes to selling your home one day, this can be an attractive feature and selling point for prospective buyers. In fact, this is what can increase the asking price and help you get the selling price you want. Bamboo cabinetry offers a choice of different grains, which is very beneficial and enables you to have something unique in your kitchen or bathroom. When the cabinets arrive, take a close look at the grain and see how it works for you.  The supplier must allow you to choose a vertical or horizontal grain depending on your particular design and what look you prefer in your space.

BAMBOO VS. PLASTIC PRODUCTS

Bamboo products are quickly replacing many plastic items for a number of reasons.  The first is that bamboo cutting boards are more resistant to bacteria growth and are easier on a chef’s knife.  While bamboo stays straight and true, plastic cutting boards tend to warp when exposed to moderate heat.  I discovered this after putting a plastic cutting board in the dishwasher.  Plastic bowls can leach chemicals into the food that you eat.  This is especially true when eating foods high in acidic content, such as sauerkraut.  Bamboo dinnerware will not only add an elegant, earthy look to your table, it’s also a giant leap away from ingesting latent chemicals from the plastic manufacturing process.  As mentioned above, bamboo is 100% biodegradable.  While a plastic utensil will still be in the landfill when your children’s children have children, bamboo will completely biodegrade in under a year.

BAMBOO VS. WOOD PRODUCTS

Continuing with the cutting board comparison mentioned above, let’s take a look at how bamboo compares to wood products.  A bamboo cutting board generally requires much less maintenance than its wood counterpart.  Bamboo tableware does not acquire the rough texture that wood utensils seem to exhibit within a few months of use.  While some may find it odd to eat with anything other than metal silverware, others enjoy the taste of their food more when metal is not placed in their mouth with each bite.  Give it a try.  You just may love it.  Due to the fast growth rate of bamboo, products created from bamboo do not contribute to deforestation the way that wood products do.

IS BAMBOO THE BEST

Even when both the plastic and wood boards were new in the experiments (and thus didn’t have any scratches), the studies still found that bacteria are less likely to survive on wooden boards.  Bamboo wood is not only environmentally friendly, sturdy, durable and safe but also stylish and eye-catching.  We hope our article will help you to see all the benefits of bamboo products.
