Why does BambooLogic believe that bamboo plantations in Europe make sense?
#bambooforeurope
- Europe is the biggest export market for Asian bamboo products
- Growing conditions, degraded land and bamboo shoots are available
- Knowledge and innovative processing industry is present
- Avoiding heavy overseas CO₂ transports
- Pricing not dependent on currency fluctuations and tax issues
- Bamboo is a powerful tool to attain European climate action goals and other SDG’s and to help restore degraded and abandoned agricultural land
- It is a new segment that can help reviving the European agricultural sector and be a catalyser for new (high tech) industries

Bamboo in Europe explained by an expert
BambooLogic Senior Advisor and former INBAR Director- General Dr. Hans Friederich in an interview about why we are establishing bamboo plantations in Europe.
Fast
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth. As the ideal alternative for hardwood it delivers 15 times more wood than traditional trees and can be harvested after 5-6 years.
Sustainable
Bamboo is a highly sustainable zero waste crop. It absorbs more carbon than trees, is very durable and once planted it stays alive for up to 100 years.
Growing market
The bamboo market is expected to quadruple over the next years and bamboo is gaining popularity. Europe is the biggest export market for Asian bamboo products.
Strong and versatile
Bamboo knows over 10.000 applications. It has a higher tensile strength than steel, is an ideal base for super strong composite materials, while on the other hand it can form the raw material for ultra-soft clothing with anti- bacterial and anti-odour capacities.
