Why Bamboo ???
At Green Bamboo Creation, we are deeply committed to environmental and societal well-being. Bamboo is one of the most renewable resources on Earth with incredible structural abilities. On average, it takes 3-5 years of growth from planting to harvest mature, structural-grade bamboo. This is in contrast to even the fastest-growing timber plantations, which reach maturity at 45 years of age. Bamboo has incredible tensile strength and flexibility, allowing it to withstand numerous strenuous conditions, such as earthquakes.
All bamboo that we use is treated and seasoned to make it termite-free and dimensionally stable. We use 9 steps of the bamboo treatment procedure standardized by BASE BUILDS, an organization working on research and development of bamboo construction.
Bamboo is plentiful in the global south, with all of the species that we use at Green Bamboo Creation being native to Nepal. Bamboo is beneficial to both the land and communities that it grows on. We partner with local farmers from the areas of Nepal where the bamboo species that we use are native to. Our partnership provides farmers with an additional source of income and livelihood, and Green Bamboo Creation with a source of high-quality bamboo. In these areas, bamboo provides a vital purpose of soil stabilization, with its deep roots both anchoring land in place and raising the water table. The local nature of our materials keeps costs comparatively lower than imported materials.
The use of local, native materials, combined with the renewable nature of bamboo means that bamboo houses can produce up to 60% less carbon than comparable conventional houses of concrete and steel. This makes our creations friendly to the environment and climate. However, it is not only the environmental factor that makes bamboo an ideal construction and craft material. Buildings and structures built using natural, local materials, using native expertise and craftsmanship, perform significantly better than conventional building materials in the areas of heat regulation and energy consumption. Our buildings breathe, and our furniture remains cool.
Besides this, bamboo is simply beautiful. Our experts construct quality structures, furniture, and decor that are not only good for the Earth, but beautify the places where they are placed, blending seamlessly into nature and creating a calming atmosphere in any room they are placed in. We hope you can welcome one of our bamboo creations into your life soon to promote inclusiveness, circular economy, and value chain.
