Bamboo: A Sustainable Choice
Coast Trading Company mission: sustainable products at factory prices
Our bamboo keyboards and mouse sets are a perfect reflection of that commitment. Bamboo is not only an eco-friendly material but also a highly versatile one that embodies sustainability in many aspects. From its rapid growth rate to its strength and natural properties, bamboo is revolutionizing the way we think about sustainable products.
Remarkable growth rates
One of the most impressive facts about bamboo is its growth rate. Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on earth, capable of growing up to 91 cm (35 inches) in just 24 hours under ideal conditions! This means that bamboo can be harvested and replenished much faster than traditional hardwoods, making it a highly renewable resource. Unlike trees, which can take decades to mature, bamboo can be harvested in 3 to 5 years. This fast regrowth rate allows bamboo to be sustainably harvested without harming the environment.
Impressive strength of bamboo
Beyond its rapid growth, bamboo is also known for its strength and durability. It has a tensile strength comparable to steel, making it an excellent material for durable products like furniture. This strength, combined with its natural resistance to swelling and warping, ensures that bamboo products can last for years without the need for frequent replacements, further reducing waste and environmental impact. 
Indeed, bamboo scaffolding is a traditional construction method that has been widely used in Hong Kong for decades, showcasing the strength and versatility of bamboo. Despite the city’s modern skyscrapers, bamboo remains a preferred material for building temporary scaffolding due to its lightweight, flexible, and durable nature. Bamboo scaffolding can be erected quickly and can support heavy loads, making it ideal for Hong Kong’s dense urban environment. It’s used in everything from small-scale renovations to the construction of tall buildings, with skilled workers assembling intricate bamboo frameworks at impressive heights. This eco-friendly alternative to metal scaffolding highlights bamboo’s sustainability and efficiency, especially in a fast-paced, high-rise city like Hong Kong.
Heat resistant
Bamboo also has unique properties when it comes to heat transmission. Unlike metals and plastics, bamboo does not conduct heat easily, which is why products like bamboo cups remain cool to the touch, even when filled with hot liquids. This makes bamboo an ideal material for a wide range of products.
By offering bamboo products, we align with our mission to reduce environmental impact through sustainable sourcing. Bamboo requires minimal water to grow and does not rely on harmful pesticides or fertilizers. Moreover, bamboo produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees, making it an important player in combating climate change.
