Carbon footprint
Plantation bamboo products are CO2 neutral or better over their full life cycle.
Our supplier, MOSO® has commissioned Delft University of Technology to conduct an official LCA and carbon footprint study. The report concludes that all assessed MOSO® bamboo products (all solid bamboo flooring, decking, panels and veneer) are CO2 negative over the full life cycle (“cradle till grave”).
In this result the high growing speed of Moso bamboo (see graph on right) has not even been taken into account, and can be perceived as an additional environmental benefit. The environmental impact of MOSO® products, excluding carbon sequestration effect, was also published in an official Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) following EN 15804.
