Why is bamboo flooring “green”?
Because Moso bamboo is actually a hardy grass that grows over 65 feet tall and matures in as little as 3-5 years, it is an eco-friendly alternative to other hardwood species. By shifting consumption from trees to bamboo, we can slow the depletion of old-growth trees and give mismanaged forests a chance to recover. Bamboo flooring is also recognized as a rapidly renewable building material by the U.S. Green Building Council and can help builders earn LEED credits for their projects.
