Bamboo particle

Today I want to introduce about one the way to use bamboo, this way is on going activity in Japan.
In Japan, there are bamboo forests, the area is about 16,000ha, about 1% of total forests in Japan.
You may feel it is little area, but now it is spreading, encoroaching the other plantations. Some of bamboo forests are neglected and causes some harms.
That is a social problem, "Neglected bamboo forests",
I want to contribute to raise awareness and to solve this problem.

Well,
bamboo is strong, but cut into particles, now in Japan bamboo can be uset in many cases. Bamboo has many good effects for us. I think it is possibility including secret effect whihc is not yet founded by anyone.
Maybe panda already knows!

And bamboo grows very fast, it takes about 3 ～ 5 years to grow up throughly. So we use bamboo product, we will contribute to Nature, Environmental, build sustainable society, green society.
