Bamboo as a Driver For National Economic Growth

Why Bamboo?

  • Rapid growth, harvesting as early as the 3rd to 4th year for 150 years.
  • Annual harvesting without replanting.
  • Lower capital costs and potentially higher profitability.
  • Ideal for rehabilitating degraded lands and regreening forests.

Forest Biodiversity Destruction & Impact

  • Native timber species face threats due to over-logging, conversion to agriculture, and non-optimal reforestation practices.
  • Endangered plants suffer similar threats to iconic animals like rhinos and tigers.
  • Impacts include climate change, global warming, environmental damage, loss of wildlife, and native communities' livelihoods.

Bamboo as a Profitable Crop

  • Rapid biomass growth compared to trees.
  • Low water usage but high-water retention.
  • Maintains water tables, increases humidity, and prevents erosion.
  • High tolerance for diverse soil and terrain conditions.
  • Efficient carbon sink and reforestation crop.
  • Versatile applications, from construction to renewable energy.
  • Low maintenance, reducing operational costs.

Sustainable Biomass

4 SB Sus BioM 1

Carbon Footprint

  • Selected species : Hybrid Dendrocalamus Asper
  • Up to 27 meters in height
  • 18-20cm culm diameter
  • Planting Distance : 5 x 6 meters
  • Land Size : 1000 hectares (minimum)
  • Planting Density : 330 seedlings per hectare
  • Biomass production after year 6 : 120 tons/hectare
  • Projected yield increase yearly

Sustainable Biomass Applications

  • Suitable for construction, industrial polymers, fibre fillers, and structural materials.
  • Low planting density and triangular grid for ease of maintenance.

Bamboo Straw

5 SB BStraw 2

Bamboo Straw Details

  • Selected species: Hybrid Bambusa Tuldoides (ventricosa)
  • Inside diameter: 6-8 mm
  • Planting Distance : 2m (inside) x 3m (between)
  • Planting Density: 1,500 seedlings per hectare
  • Straw production after year 2 : 75,000/hectare
  • 100 hectares x 75k = 7.5 million straws per cycle

Environmental Impacts & Facts

  • Plastic straws are detrimental to the environment, with significant impacts on marine life
  • Plastic straws take up to 200 years to decompose and contribute to marine pollution
  • Bamboo straws offer a sustainable alternative

Carbon Footprint

  • Bamboo sequesters 50 tons of carbon per hectare annually.
  • Projected offset for 1,100 hectares: 55,000 tons/year.
  • Bamboo releases 35% more oxygen than trees.
  • Rapid growth rate enables quicker carbon sequestration.
  • Long lifespan of bamboo products prolongs its carbon storage.
  • Absorption of carbon dioxide during growth stages further enhances its environmental benefits.
