BambooLogic European Bamboo Plantation Program
Bamboo is the fastest growing investment and CO2 compensator
What does BambooLogic do?
This movie explains about our plans, how to realise them and shows some applications of bamboo.
Why do we do bamboo?
‘Why not?’ should be the better question. The fast evolving market of bamboo is expected to grow exponentially over the next years. Mainly due to growing ecological awareness and the rising demand of industrial bamboo products as substitute for hardwood, cotton, steel, composite materials and PVC.
BambooLogic and its subsidiaries are realising the first bamboo plantations in the European Union, focussing in a first phase on Portugal and Spain.
BambooLogic wants to achieve a sustainable return by creating the right balance between commercial and ecologically responsible operations.

Bamboo in Europe for Europe
Aside the fact that the climate in Southern Europe is well suited for bamboo, as the Romans already knew, growing bamboo in Europe helps the climate. Bamboo absorbs more CO2 and produces more oxygen than trees, regenerates the soil and a plantation creates much needed jobs in rural areas.
Bamboo is an alternative for many much used unsustainable materials as hardwood, steel and pvc.
Since we grow bamboo in Europe for the European market, long shipments over sea are avoided, transport costs and import taxes are minimized, quality controls is made easier and currency fluctuations have no effect.
Fast
Bamboo is a special crop for many reasons. It is the fastest growing plant on earth.
Sustainable
Bamboo is a highly sustainable raw material. The sustainability of a bamboo plantation in Europe is guaranteed in several ways.
Growing market
The bamboo market is expected to quadruple over the next years. Europe is the biggest export market for Asian bamboo.
Strong and versatile
Bamboo is used in over 10.000 products. It has a higher tensile strength than steel, while on the other hand it can form the raw material for ultra-soft clothing.
