Bamboo is a sustainable, highly renewable resource that only takes 5 years to fully mature, unlike hardwood trees, which take decades to mature after harvesting. Bamboo grows directly from its root, so after harvesting, the stalk will regenerate quickly without needing to be replanted. Bamboo also produces a natural antibacterial agent, so it doesn’t need to be treated with pesticides or fertilizers as it grows. Bamboo stalks grow so densely together that this plant produces more oxygen than any other plant, helping to keep the atmosphere clean. Our Bamboo tops have been tested by SGS - The world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company.
