Bamboo Products

      The benefits and advantages of bamboo are many. Recent studies conducted by the European Union confirm that bamboo's water requirements are small and that its root system is an excellent watershed protector. Depending on humidity, Guadua contains 15% more BTUs than other fuel woods and could therefore serve as an alternative fuel for energy. German fire authorities tested Guadua and, guided by the European Building Code, approved bamboo as a building material for the Guadua Pavilion at Expo 2002 in Hanover.
