More about Moso Bamboo
The giant bamboo species Moso belongs to the fastest growing plants in the world. It reaches its final length of up to 20 meters within a couple of months (with a speed of up to 1 meter a day during the growing season!). It takes the stem around 4-5 years to mature and acquire its excellent hardwood like characteristics.
One bamboo plant consists of several poles and new shoots will grow from the mother plant every year. Generally, 20-25% of the poles in a sustainable bamboo forest or plantation can be harvested each year. This happens without decreasing the number of poles per hectare! The plant does not die after harvesting (as with trees), so no deforestation.
Pandas don’t eat Moso bamboo, so the production of certified Moso bamboo products offers no danger to pandas.
Bamboo is also naturally antibacterial, meaning germs and bacteria won’t get anywhere near your little one at mealtimes.
How do you dispose of a bamboo toothbrush?
Use pliers to remove the bristles as they are not suitable for home composting. Alternatively, they can go in your general waste bin or an eco brick. The bamboo toothbrush handle can go into home compost and will biodegrade easily.
