In addition to being a natural material that breaks down when discarded, bamboo has many other fascinating eco-friendly and practical advantages. Here are the top 12:
- Bamboo is a great substitute for tree wood in creating products, which helps reduce deforestation
- It only takes two years for bamboo to fully mature, making it more sustainable than using trees.
- Suppliers don't need to use pesticides or fertilizers when growing bamboo.
- Making traditional bamboo rugs doesn’t require complex processing or yield significant environmental waste, and nearly every part of the bamboo is used.
- Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and can create 35% more oxygen than trees.
- Although not completely fireproof, bamboo rugs are more resistant to fire than most materials because of their natural oils and structure, making them a great choice, even in the kitchen.
-
Bamboo rugs are easy to care for and easy to clean.
Since bamboo fibers are smooth, they hold fewer allergens.
- Bamboo fibers are durable and long-lasting.
- Bamboo fiber resists electron charges making bamboo rugs static-resistant.
- There's an anti-microbial agent in bamboo that repels insects and fungi, making bamboo rugs highly resistant to pests and mold.
