BAMBOO - The industry of the future, now

[@anilkapur1584]

Marvelous to see the the way bamboo has been processed and used in buildings, furniture, artefacts, cutlery, crockery and more. The models made by the young Ecuadorian pheasant are fascinating. The great thing about bamboo is that it is a renewable resource, restores degraded lands, it is flexible, strong and light, it's multifarious uses makes it one of the best resources on Earth. This video is well made and worth watching.

[@jameswest4819]

I've been impressed by bamboo as a construction material for over 30 years. The biggest thing I noticed, other than what type of glue is used to make the construction materials, is the blockage by bureaucratic entities in the USA that are heavily influenced by existing corporations selling approved building materials that would be competing with bamboo materials. They virtually destroy the competition by lobbying against any competition.

[@mikeajames9261]

Yes. Countries, attitudes and corporations will need to fall.

How do you know this? Are there any articles or sources you could link me to? I’m not trying to argue by the way I’m just genuinely interested.

[@jameswest4819]

@@StraightToThePointTutorials_ I'm afraid I don't have any specific backup sources. I am getting old but I have seen many examples of that type of behavior where bad capitalism is concerned, like when the congress was lobbied in 2005 with over 100 million dollars by the banking institutions to change our constitution and it's Bankruptcy laws for private citizens but not for corporations. If you think corporations are people too, just declare personal bankruptcy and you will see how corporations changed our constitution by bribing congress.

Bambou is the miracle plant, and I really adore it. We can make litterally everything with bambou; the plus is that it's also edible and many species of bambou are delicious. It was exploited in China since a long time ago for all its benefits. It's so robuste because it's souple, flexible and hollow, and it grows so fast! I hope more and more people will awaken to the utility of that formidable raw material, because the Earth really need a profund change in everything of human's way of living. Later I want my home in bambou, 100% ecological and with that beauty that only bambou can provide.

The fact that bamboo has been used for scaffolding is a testament to it's durability and strength as well as it's use in everything that timber is used for. Looking at some of the bigger diameter stuff they would also make fantastic guttering for homes and it even makes nice and soft long lasting cloth, I bought my wife a T-shirt made from bamboo.

[@johnwells9089]

I used to be part of our local bamboo society , bamboo is an absolutely amazing plant! It is an underestimated resource that could literally save the world , it has been severely overlooked in the USA... Bamboo farming is a major wave of the future. (It's also a food source)

[@gardensofthegods]

You probably need to find a company in America that sells bamboo flooring and see if they need you to supply them .

[@gardensofthegods]

Also you might want to look at some of the videos about bamboo clothing.... I don't know if you knew that you can get cloth from bamboo..... learn everything you can you can't decide what is the easiest type of bamboo product for you to manufacture so that you can maximize your profits for the least amount of work .... at least when you are first starting out with your business .

[@writingtruthinwisdom1835]

I came across a large row of bamboo and thought...I can build something from this. I started researching and found out that the opportunity was just amazing. I absolutely want to harvest and sell bamboo and build things. I am a musician as well so I can buy or make bamboo instruments. And eat fresh sprouts 😋. Love this video and our God for creating this amazing grass plant.

[@ThomiX0.0]

I have had a company making bamboo shutters once, and they are stronger then oakwood and stay straight as metal. Not enough people know about the environmental benefits for using this material instead of slow-growing wood. Being a carpenter, I will love it, till the end of days..and enjoyed the video very much!

[@larslover6559]

I've started to discover bamboo too the last months and from the environmental aspect it seems to beat most materials.

[@ThomiX0.0]

@@larslover6559 , in former times, the costs where to high for transporting the material to the west, but nowadays the material is pressed with new machines and with high quality glue, which makes them very useful in our woodworking methodes. And because they grow so quick, it's also good for the environment, and let's not forget the quick replacement for the farmer himself. The only way to improve the use of bamboo, is as buyer to insist on better quality in woodwork. As we see today, the bamboo plywood is mostly used in public places like schools and libraries, and in Germany also on workbenches and worktables.. On high pressure, you could easily make a bicycle frame from this bamboo, ready in a minute.., but it still isn't a breakthrough for our perseption and market.

[@larslover6559]

@@ThomiX0.0 thanks for taking the time to reply! I'm Norwegian but live in India(of all places) as a missionary. I work mainly among the impoverished tea garden workers and villagers. The poverty and the plastic pollution made mesearch for solutions. And then I discovered bamboo that grows alot in this region.im just in the research stage and trying to start production of bamboo products. Were trying to make prototypes of cups and straws as a starter

[@FletcherHillier]

It would be economically unwise to use bamboo in Canada bc we produce more than enough sustainable Wood stock. We don't produce bamboo so we should tariff it even more than now if we care about the economy and the environment. Slow growing forests allow animals to use it, monoculture crops of bamboo do not support animal life. The quicker it is to grow, the less the plantation offers to nature as animals will not retake the space after harvest. Every harvest leaves a generation of animals exposed and without food supply, bc the most efficient way to harvest bamboo is by clear cutting. Faster is not better.

[@ThomiX0.0]

@@FletcherHillier , there is a major difference in the way of harvesting bamboo. The farmer takes only(!) the young and new grown outer stems, in order to make the 'motherplant' react with new growth. If not: he looses his volume..as outer growth becomes bigger every time you harvest..and young new plantroot makes useless small ones. Keeping this material at bay, means you haven't seen the whole picture jet.., as it isn't a thing of ' my country ' or ' my environment ', it is the whole world needing a good and sustainable building material. Partially wood and partially bamboo, without clearing the area completely as we do right now. Bamboo farms are green forever without the clear and open places like the wood farms, the light stems are taken out piece by piece, and you cannot even see a difference if you do so. Something to learn about for us westerners.:-)

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

*Bamboo is a beautiful material.* Went to an event in the new 5 star hotel. All their walls were with polished bamboo panels. It's a beautiful and sustainable material. The bamboo flooring is nice too, because it's like hard wood that is also resistant to water damage to some degree. Bamboo will become more and more used on our planet, because it works well and grows fast.

[@rivergrrrl1256]

@@FletcherHillier Why?

[@ThomiX0.0]

@@FletcherHillier your reaction is outdated, as there are bamboo construction beams and planks, which are made to stay outside, heavy rain or not. They last for at least a hundred years, as scientifically tested in shorter time..that is.

[@FletcherHillier]

@@ThomiX0.0 The cost of that would be insanely high with shipping. Building materials are almost always the cheapest available to that area. Eg. Concrete is the prevailing material at about $0.07 per kilo or $5/cubic foot. Even our local lumber is going to be phased out of business as the prices double every 2 years or less for lumber in my area.

[@FletcherHillier]

@@rivergrrrl1256 Shipping building materials overseas would be bad because it uses a lot of fuel and cargo capacity to do so. Only specialized, valuable building materials are shipped long distances. Eg tile from Italy, even at $1/tile is far more valuable to ship than low density materials such as wood or bamboo. It would add the cost of overseas shipping and make the materials non-competitive vs. local lumber. We also expect perfect straightness of all materials. If its not straight I always return it and avoid buying it in the first place. Even $1 more and it will not work as you are competing on a price level with those who would be using standard lumber, steel studs or concrete. I wouldn't even bother with lumber as it increases in price far faster than inflation, which tells you it will be phased out of construction for all but custom homes in the near future. Concrete composites will take over 90% of construction within 10 years. I am already phasing it out of my business in favour of concrete.

Really informative! Given bamboo's usefulness in construction/furniture making; it's ablity to absorb more carbon dioxide and manufacture more oxygen than trees; the fairly rapid benefits of preventing soil erosion because it grows quickly (and it carries on growing once chopped down for harvesting), it's antiseptic properties.... what's not to like!

[@JanakShah]

Bamboo textiles are cloth, yarn, and clothing made out of bamboo fibres. While historically used only for structural elements, such as bustles and the ribs of corsets, in recent years a range of technologies have been developed allowing bamboo fibre to be used in a wide range of textile and fashion applications. Modern clothing labeled bamboo is usually rayon. The bamboo yarn can also be blended with other textile fibres such as hemp or even spandex. Bamboo fibres are all cellulose fibre extracted or fabricated from natural bamboo, but they vary widely. Textiles labelled as being made from bamboo are usually not made by mechanical crushing and retting. They are generally synthetic rayon made from cellulose extracted from bamboo. Bamboo is used whole and in strips; these strips may be considered stiff fibers
