Bamboo, known for its remarkable growth rate as the fastest growing grass, offers significant advantages. With its exceptional CO2 sequestration and oxygen production capabilities, bamboo stands out as an efficient tool to support net-zero emissions goals and align with the objectives of the European Green Deal and reach net zero .

Aside from its carbon sequestration properties, bamboo offers numerous benefits as a plant resource. It efficiently absorbs nitrate from the soil, enhancing soil quality and fertility. Additionally, bamboo’s ability to retain water in the soil helps prevent erosion and promotes soil regeneration. An advantage of bamboo is its long-term sustainability, requiring only a one-time planting for a lifespan ranging from 60 to 100 years. Moreover, bamboo’s rapid regrowth after pruning or harvesting makes it an exceptionally renewable raw material to use for various application for fossil based materials like; concrete, steel and PVC.

Considering these compelling attributes, incorporating bamboo into business practices can yield substantial advantages. Enterprises can leverage bamboo’s ability to sequester CO2 and its sustainable growth rate to demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability. By integrating bamboo into various industries, businesses can tap into its versatile applications while contributing to reducing carbon emissions. The utilization of bamboo as a renewable resource aligns with both ecological and business interests, providing a solid foundation for environmentally conscious enterprises.


About The Remover

Together with his wife, Jelle de With runs an innovative farm in the Drenthe region. After taking over the family farm in Nagelen, where he grew three plants, he decided to expand to five plants and bamboo when he moved away. Jelle himself works the land on a daily basis, with the active help of his wife. His greatest passion is self-sufficient, sustainable agriculture, and the choice of bamboo fits in perfectly with this approach. Bamboo stores CO₂ and offers an additional source of income through carbon removal certificates. In this way, Jelle hopes to contribute to a greener future and ensure the sustainability of her business
