Durable, robust and hard-wearing
With the appropriate treatment, bamboo is ideal for bathroom furnishing products, as it is durable in a humid environment. Bamboo is renewable and recyclable and its durability makes it a great material for long-lasting products.
The woodprint is an additional advantage, as it combines the natural beauty of wood with sustainability.
Did you know that despite its size, bamboo is not considered a tree but grass?
Green in every way
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges humanity is facing. Young green forests counteract climate change by binding CO2. Bamboo forests are particularly efficient as they grow quickly. In many cases bamboo does not even need to be replanted.
„Bamboo filters CO2 from the air, produces oxygen and has a high growth rate. Therefore, it is particularly sustainable – the material of the future“.
Peter Nilsson – Category Manager, IKEA
