The Benefits of Bamboo

As we all know, Bamboo is a well loved and popular material that is used for a variety of products. As this eco-friendly material is widely used at Green Shop Online, it is important that we help you understand the reasons why we chose Bamboo and why you should prioritise Bamboo products over plastic products.

Did you know that Bamboo is:

1. A Natural and Environmentally Friendly Material - Bamboo is a grass plant that grows faster than other plants in a short period of time.  It’s sustainable and eco-friendly as it doesn’t require much water to grow. It also does not need any chemicals or pesticides.
2. 100% Biodegradable and Anti bacterial - This natural material will cause no negative impact on the environment. It’s a perfect alternative to plastic as it reduces the amount of carbon footprint. In less then a year, bamboo will completely biodegrade!
3. Multi purpose - Like mentioned earlier, Bamboo is used for a wide variety of products from dental hygiene to bottles to containers, tableware and accessories.
4. Promotes a greener planet - Bamboo absorbs Carbon Dioxide and releases over 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere.
5. An excellent building material - Bamboo has great tensile strength and can replace the use of wood material. According to Business Insider, the tensile strength of bamboo is 28,000 pounds per square inch.
6. Elegant appearance and texture- If you compare the look of plastic and bamboo, bamboo certainly has a more earthy and elegant look, especially if used for dinnerware.
