Why investing in bamboo?
Bamboo is present in almost every European household. Europe is the second largest bamboo market after China. The footprint and negative impact of European bamboo is much lower, without the price having to be higher.
” Investing in bamboo generates stable long-term returns for decades to come. “
Importance of bamboo for the European economy
Europe is, after China, the largest bamboo market. Nearly all bamboo products are imported into Europe today. This raises more and more questions about transport emissions, transparency regarding production, materials, security of supply and so on. Europe is also the second largest exporter of bamboo products, but lacks locally grown bamboo. Bamboo, with tens of thousands of product applications, is used in almost every sector. The demand from the European industry and consumers for locally grown bamboo is rising fast. We are only at the beginning of this unlocking sector.
We provide the European industry with European low-footprint bamboo.
Bamboo for climate and nature
According to EUSO more than 60% of European soils is in unhealthy state. Children born today will experience 5 times more crop failures. Since the 1980s, Europe has been warming twice as fast as the global average, becoming the fastest-warming continent on Earth, according the WMO. We have to invest now in future-proof agriculture.
By planting bamboo we are taking a lot of CO2 out of the air and give a boost to nature-inclusive.
Bamboo has the ability to make soils healthy again. It is a pesticide and herbicide free crop and in managed bamboo forests no tillage is applied. The extensive root system prevents erosion and retains a lot of water in the soil. The year-round leaf fall ensures a thick humuslayer, a true playground for insects and small animals. Over the years the nutrient level and organic matter content rises and a healthy ecosystem can evolve.
Make impact & share in the profit
Investing in bamboo in Europe requires the biggest financial effort in the beginning. Bamboo only has to be planted once for the next 100 years or more. Once mature it delivers stable and climate independent harvests, year after year, good for attractive long-term returns.
The demand for european bamboo exceeds the current supply many times.
