Strong and versatile
On the one hand, bamboo has a higher tensile strength than steel, while on the other hand it can form the basis for ultra-soft clothing. It makes bamboo the most versatile plant in the world, one with innumerable uses. There is a growing demand for bamboo fibres for construction applications and products like flooring, furniture, kitchens, food, cosmetics, clothing and medicines. Also energy pellets and charcoal can be produced out of bamboo.
