If you think plants are the mastermind in turning CO2 into oxygen, then you probably don’t know the functioning of bamboo.

So, if one is making products out of them, the resource is found in abundance.
4. Sturdy & Durable
Bamboo is made up of very sturdy and durable material, and bamboo is overall a good investment if you do not wish to use plastic products and dispose of them regularly, creating a hazard to the environment.
Some proud bamboo investors have challenged people to cut a bamboo cane in half. But, apparently, it is not possible since it is ‘supremely strong.’
