Why Bamboo is the Sustainable Material of the Future

1. Why Bamboo is the Sustainable Material of the Future? We at Brelli are regularly asked, “Why do you make your umbrellas and parasols out of bamboo? What’s so special about that particular material?” Beyond just being lightweight and stylish, here are four reasons why we make our sustainable umbrellas and parasols out of bamboo.

2. It grows like a weed Bamboo actually holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for the world’s fastest growing plant. It can grow up to an astonishing 1.2 meters (almost four feet) per day. If you’ve ever had any in your yard, or had a neighbour that did, you know that it grows and spreads incredibly fast. Some places have even enacted local ordinances to regulate planting and prevent its wildfire-like spread. While this characteristic can cause feuds amongst neighbours in the U.S., it makes it perfect for building materials. Because it spreads so easily, you can replenish what you’ve harvested in no time. Depending on the species, bamboo can be ready to harvest in as little as one year after planting, or a maximum of just ten years. It prevents deforestation When bamboo is used instead of trees for building materials, everyone benefits. If you cut down a hardwood tree, it’s gone. Another can grow back in its place, but that will take several decades. Cut down an entire forest and it’ll take a century to grow back. Because bamboo is a grass rather than a tree, it doesn’t have these issues. Currently, Africa is losing 9.9 million acres of forest each year - that’s more than the size of Maryland and double the rate of average deforestation. Bamboo’s soil grabbing roots are also an excellent way to prevent erosion. Bamboo pulls heavy metals out of the soil, keeps water near the surface, and can provide an opportunity for other plant species to thrive in previously inhospitable terrain.
