This document discusses bamboo as a sustainable resource and its many uses. It notes that bamboo is a fast-growing plant that can be harvested within 3 years. It has over 1,500 documented uses including pulp/paper, construction materials, furniture, and more. The global bamboo market is estimated at over $7 billion currently and projected to reach $20 billion by 2017. India has significant bamboo resources and its bamboo economy is expected to grow over 15% to $260 billion by 2015. The document outlines bamboo production processes and finished bamboo board products.
Bamboo & its uses
- 2. Why Bamboo?Why Bamboo? Sustainability – Fast growing Short rotation – Harvestable from 3 yr. onwards Adaptability – Different agro climatic conditions Economical – Easily available at cheaper cost. Environmental friendly – Carbon sequestration, land reclamation, water harvesting, reduces soil degradation, etc. Plantation – Large scale plantations can be brought up easily. Uses – > 1500 documented uses. Social acceptance – Liked by the society from the old costumed baskets to furnished bamboo flooring
- 3. Uses of bambooUses of bamboo Pulp, paper and rayon (major industrial uses) Agriculture & Handicrafts: Bamboo baskets, stacking material, agriculture implements and structural material. Bamboo houses, disaster resistant bamboo buildings, walling, roofing and structural material Sericulture, Fisheries, Medicinal Bamboo seeds and shoots used as food and leaf as fodder Panels as substitute of traditional timber spp , Plywood, Particle Board, Hard board, Medium Density Fiber board Other importance uses: Carbon sequestration, checking soil erosion, water conservation, wind barrier, bio-fencing, restoration of degraded land, important social forestry and agroforestry species

- 7. Global status of bamboo industryGlobal status of bamboo industry The world bamboo market is estimated to be > $ 7 Billion/yr. as of 2007 and is estimated to increase to $ 20 Billion/yr. till 2017. The global bamboo trade volumes are estimated to be between USD 5.0 billion and USD 10 billion (FAO, 2005). It is hypothesised that, the market for bamboo processed products can replace wood to majority of purposes. It has been estimated that the total market size of bamboo flooring materials will rise to Rs. 19500 million by 2015 (NABARD). India’s bamboo economy is expected to grow by over 15% to touch Rs. 260,000 million by 2015.

Different mechanical characters confers utilization diversity. Commercially important bamboo species. 1. Bambusa balcooa - High biomass yielding species. 2. Guadua augustifolia – Strongest poles tensile strength comparable to steel. 3. Dendrocalamus brandisii – long internodes best for incense stick industry. 4. Dendrocalamus asper – Edible bamboo 5. D. stocksii – solid bamboo good for furniture, scaffolding and stakes.
