Bamboo, known for its remarkable growth rate as the fastest growing grass, offers significant advantages. With its exceptional CO2 sequestration and oxygen production capabilities, bamboo stands out as an efficient tool to support net-zero emissions goals and align with the objectives of the European Green Deal and reach net zero .

Aside from its carbon sequestration properties, bamboo offers numerous benefits as a plant resource. It efficiently absorbs nitrate from the soil, enhancing soil quality and fertility. Additionally, bamboo’s ability to retain water in the soil helps prevent erosion and promotes soil regeneration. An advantage of bamboo is its long-term sustainability, requiring only a one-time planting for a lifespan ranging from 60 to 100 years. Moreover, bamboo’s rapid regrowth after pruning or harvesting makes it an exceptionally renewable raw material to use for various application for fossil based materials like; concrete, steel and PVC.

Considering these compelling attributes, incorporating bamboo into business practices can yield substantial advantages. Enterprises can leverage bamboo’s ability to sequester CO2 and its sustainable growth rate to demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability. By integrating bamboo into various industries, businesses can tap into its versatile applications while contributing to reducing carbon emissions. The utilization of bamboo as a renewable resource aligns with both ecological and business interests, providing a solid foundation for environmentally conscious enterprises.


About The Remover
The carbon is removed by Bamboologic (Bambulogic Europe B.V), with head office in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Bamboologic installs bamboo farms in Europe and sells the raw bamboo or primary processed bamboo as a base material for the production of sustainable & durable alternatives for hardwood, steel, PVC, composite materials & cotton. Europe is the largest export market for bamboo products. There are so many obvious sustainability reasons to provide bamboo from Europe for the European market.

Bamboo is a zero-waste crop and a sustainable alternative for many industrial used raw materials in more than 10.000 different products. Bamboo thrives very well on degraded land and regenerates the soil in good condition. Taken into account that approximately one third of all European farm land is degraded, bamboo can play an important role in the agricultural and green future of Europe.

Since bamboo holds a lot of water in the soil, allows other vegetation to thrive and always having green leaves they are a welcome habitat for a lot of animals and insects.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  • SDG2 – Zero hunger
    Harvesting the edible bamboo shoots is an important part of managing the bamboo fields and promoting healthy plant growth. But bamboo shoots are also a common ingredient in many South and East Asian dishes; although a byproduct of bamboo production, they provide the largest revenue stream within the bamboo industry.
  • SDG8 – Decent work and economic growth
    We at BambooLogic believe that bamboo fields and all industry involved in production, processing, and sales have the potential to revitalise the European agriculture sector. We aim to help build a thriving bamboo industry that supports research and development. Focusing on areas that face tough agricultural conditions, such as Portuguese degraded land, we create jobs that can stimulate the region’s economy and encourage young people to return to their communities.
  • SDG9- Industrial infrastructure and innovation
    BambooLogic’s business model is meant to highlight circularity, inclusivity, and innovation. Apart from the more well-known uses of bamboo, such as construction and paper products, bamboo fibres and wood provide excellent alternatives to hardwoods and high-tech composites. BambooLogic partners with universities, research centres, and other innovative companies to create a dynamic research environment for the advancement of bamboo innovation. Collaborating with these groups, BambooLogic is working to unlock bamboo’s true potential, to develop new, relevant, and exciting ways to use this amazing plant.
  • SDG 11- Sustainable cities and communities
    Across many regions in Asia, bamboo is widely recognised as a sustainable material for urban development. From construction posts to sewer pipes, scaffolding, and composite materials, bamboo is used in a variety of ways to make urban communities more sustainable, and aligns perfectly with circular economy principles. Bamboo can also serve as a plant in and around cities, providing benefits such as carbon sequestration and oxygen production that exceed those of traditional crops or trees. Additionally, bamboo is a natural soil conditioner that can help prevent soil erosion.
