Ready for Bamboo Facts?

Imagine a green hero who is making a positive impact at a rapid pace. In East Asia, this hero is known as “the plant that can save the world” – Bamboo ! Let us tell you how this miraculous plant can ensure a promising future for us.

Bamboo, the tireless innovator

Bamboo, with its impressive growth rate of up to 91 centimeters per day , is the fastest growing plant in the world. What’s even more amazing is that when we harvest bamboo, the roots remain intact and the bamboo starts growing again from the same stem. This is a self-renewing superhero of the plant world! When it comes to its use as a raw material, bamboo can be harvested within 3 to 5 years. Compared to other renewable resources for paper production, such as pine trees that take 30 years and oaks that take even 80 years, bamboo is an absolute speed demon!

Bamboo, the pure hero

What makes bamboo an even green superhero is that it can be grown without the use of pesticides, fertilizers or chemicals. This is thanks to the powerful, natural antifungal agent that bamboo possesses. It protects the plant during its growth process and when producing the fibers that are used for paper. The Good Roll has consciously chosen to use 100% organic , unbleached rolls, making our products free of harmful chemicals and hypoallergenic. Bamboo is not only green, but also pure!

Bamboo, the air purifier

Did you know that bamboo is a powerful natural CO2 sink that keeps the air clean? Bamboo stores 35% more carbon and produces 35% more oxygen than trees. Curious about how bamboo paper products can have a positive impact on the environment? Bamboo is the air purifier we can all benefit from!

Intercropping with bamboo

Intercropping is a sustainable agricultural practice where bamboo is grown together with other crops! Bamboo, as you know, grows quickly and offers benefits such as natural shade, wind protection, and improved soil fertility. But that’s not all! Bamboo also helps reduce greenhouse gases and provides additional income sources through harvesting. This approach therefore promotes sustainable agriculture and biodiversity!

Bamboo, where does it grow?

Bamboo is a true globetrotter, having planted its stems on almost every continent on earth. Bamboo loves the sunny side of life, as it is mainly found in the tropical and subtropical paradises of Asia, Africa and Latin America. It even ventures to the northernmost reaches of North America and Central China, while its adventurous southern friends settle in beautiful Patagonia. And to top it all off, it also makes a trip to northern Australia. Bamboo is truly a world star!

And what about the pandas?

The most common type of bamboo that the giant panda eats is Fargesia Spathacea Franch. Pandas do eat other types of bamboo, but Bambusa Vulgaris , where our bamboo weave comes from, is thankfully not a panda's favorite snack. So don't worry about your panda friends!

So, join in with the green revolution? Together we can use this green superhero, bamboo, to ensure our future and save our planet!
