1, Why bamboo?

Bamboo is grass. It is an environmentally friendly and sustainable material. The parent bamboo makes several new stems every year. The 5-year old bamboo would be harvested every year without decreasing the size of the forest. You could get more information under BAMBOO.

2, Is the harvesting harmful to panda?

The answer is NO. Pandas live in the central mountain ranges of central China. Pandas only choose the lower species of bamboo which is easily accessible. We only use MAO bamboo, (Phyllostachys Pubescens), the giant bamboo has no leaf on the first 5 meters of the stem and is therefore not the food for the panda.

Also, we only uses bamboo comes from plantations with sustainable management in the provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui and Jiangxi. These provinces are far away from the panda region.

3, What can bamboo be used for?

In general, bamboo could be alternative to wood. From furniture to complete building materials, bamboo has an ideal working ability. The development of bamboo veneer, panels and decking brings more application possibility to bamboo. The application could be only limited to our ideas.

4, How does SmartBamboo® control the quality?

We care the quality from the first step of bamboo raw material selection. Whatever production itself or imported material applying, we put most care on them. We only use high quality European adhesives and finishes (such as veneer, both the glue and fleece are imported from Europe). Strict selection is done before packing. Only approved products would be supplied to customers.
