Sustainability
Bamboo Sequesters 10x Carbon vs Trees:
Guadua Bamboo from Latin America (Central and South America) has a unique geometric growth curve that makes it 10x faster than tree-based CO2 drawdown. Intensively harvested, our bamboo can sequester up to 1.76 tones CO2/clump/year, or up to 362 tones/hectare/year in an optimally managed farm. SEB (Structural Engineered Bamboo): Estimated Carbon Sequestration: 1,316 kg/m3 = of CO2(LCA)
Bamboo Produces 37% More Oxygen:
Guadua Bamboo not only sequesters carbon, but it also produces oxygen as it grows. Guadua bamboo produces up to 37% more oxygen than trees! During the industrial revolution and even today massive quantities of natural tree growth has been removed around the world. Timber construction is considered sustainable when compared to concrete and steel, but it is no where near the sustainability case for bamboo especially when accounting for the already depleted natural forests.
Bamboo is a Rapidly Renewable Resource:
The Guadua Bamboo integrated into LoüTeq SEB products is documented as a Rapidly Renewable Resource. Harvest for LoüTeq SEB begins at 6-8 years and continues every year after through the life of the bamboo plant. This continuous harvest produces 14 Tons of useable bamboo fiber/Acre/Year. The fiber yield of mature bamboo is 6 times the usable biomass of timber forests over a 25-30 year timeline (The typical growing period for soft wood trees used in structural products) such as: Spruce, Southern Yellow Pine, and Douglas Fir.
