Environmental Benefits Of Bamboo Rugs
Bamboo is a valuable resource that reduces dependence on declining timber resources, is a renewable resource material, promotes a 'green' environment, and helps to lessen the environmental impact on its production.
Durable and sustainable, bamboo rugs and chair mats are made to last, and everything possible is done in manufacturing them to minimize harm to the environment.
Bamboo rugs are extremely easy to clean and maintain. Our bamboo area rugs are made with bamboo slats of varying sizes and lined with either a cotton or poly border, with each element being tested and treated to ensure the highest quality.
Bamboo also has significant benefits over hardwood. When a hardwood tree is cut down, it will take several decades for another to grow in its place. Bamboo, on the other hand, is a grass, and under the right conditions, can grow a full meter a day. Because bamboo matures quickly, a new bamboo plant is ready to harvest after three to six years, depending on the species.
Bamboo is also renewable. Unlike hardwood trees, bamboo regrows after harvesting, just as grass regrows after cutting.
