CO2 Bambu ReforestationWe want to make certain we replace whatwe use. Even though much of the bamboowe cut re-generates, replanting Guaduabamboo is a critical part of our business.CO2 Bambu works together with hundredsof local campesino land-owners each year to plant and nurture native seedlings.

Did You Know? Many people are surprisedto learn that clumping bamboo such asNicaraguan Guadua absorbs 35% morecarbon than trees and grows to maturity inonly 4 to 5 years.

Make the switch to sustainable

bamboo eco-solutions.
