Bamboo: the future star of natural and environmentally friendly materials Bamboo is known as the "green steel of the 21st century". Its growth cycle is short (3-5 years to mature) and its carbon sequestration capacity far exceeds that of ordinary trees (1 hectare of bamboo forest can sequester 12 tons of carbon per year), making it an ideal material for addressing the global climate crisis. During the processing of bamboo products, there is low energy consumption, no chemical pollution, and the waste can be naturally degraded, perfectly fitting the concept of circular economy. From household items to building panels, bamboo is gradually replacing plastics and metals, becoming the darling of the global environmental protection industry. In the future, innovative technologies in the bamboo industry, such as bamboo fiber textiles and bamboo based composite materials, will promote their application in high-end fields such as automobiles and aviation, injecting new impetus into the "dual carbon" goal.
