Fast growth rate: Some bamboos are the fastest growing plants on earth, can reach 25 cm per day in growth stage, and recorded species grow more than 100 meters per day. It takes only 6 months for the plants to reach their final height, from 18m to 30m, and over the next 3-4 years, the woody structure of the sugarcane develops, matures and is ready to be harvested. Bamboo grows rapidly, and on the same area, the output of bamboo is 20 times that of trees.

Among the many environmental advantages that come with using bamboo, the fact that bamboo forests are one of the largest environmental carbon dioxide collectors on Earth stands out. Species like bamboo can hold over 100 tons per hectare during each life cycle. It releases 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere and absorbs more carbon dioxide than other plants.
