Bamboo is an excellent solution to the environmental damage associated with traditional paper production. At Bamboi® we produce sustainable toilet paper that contributes to a better world. In this article, we guide you through the production process and show how Bamboi® is committed to sustainability.
The production process: from bamboo to toilet paper
-
Harvesting bamboo: Our bamboo is sustainably harvested in the Sichuan region in China, where the world’s largest bamboo forests are found. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world and can grow up to 91 centimeters per day. After harvesting, the bamboo regrows from its own roots, which prevents deforestation.
-
Processing into pulp: The harvested bamboo stalks are cut into small chips and then mixed with a solution of water and sodium hydroxide. This mixture is boiled to separate the lignin (wood substance) from the cellulose fibers, resulting in a pulp. Sodium hydroxide is a natural ingredient that is environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable.
-
Cleaning and filtering: The pulp is washed, filtered, and refined to remove impurities. Our supplier has a water treatment facility that cleans all the used water, making it pure enough for aquatic life.
-
Paper formation: The cleaned pulp is run through a paper machine, where it is formed into thin sheets and dried. This results in strong and soft toilet paper without the need for additional chemicals or bleaching agents.
Eco-friendly advantages of bamboo compared to wood
-
Rapid renewability: Bamboo grows much faster than traditional trees and can be harvested within three years, whereas trees such as pine and oak take between 30 and 80 years to mature.
-
CO₂ storage: Bamboo forests store up to 48 tons of CO₂ per hectare per year, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
-
Water and energy efficiency: The production process of bamboo toilet paper consumes less water and energy compared to traditional wood pulp paper.
-
No deforestation: Because bamboo regrows after harvesting, there is no deforestation. This helps preserve biodiversity and prevent soil erosion.
