bamboo forest

Bamboo is a widely varied grass and the fastest growing plant in the world.
Bamboo can grow up to a meter per day until it reaches its final height, which can take as little as three months. Due to this rapid growth period,
bamboo has over 25 times the yield (weight per acre/ per year) of timber.
 

 

 

 

bamboo grows throughout southeast Asia


Strandwoven™ Wood Company has interacted
with city officials, heads of forestry, and regional economic advisors to ensure that our efforts help the region and the
commuity where our harvesting and manufacturing occurs.
