Description

Bamboo (Bambusa spp.) is a grass. It is the second most widely used non-wood fiber on the planet (six percent of global plant fibre production), whose bio-attributes just about equal those of pine. Bamboo is easy to cultivate and is well known to farmers. It is used for both building construction and paper making. Not all bamboos are equal. Some have a low fiber content and low yield rate, but there are both warm temperate and tropical species that can become paper yielders.
