SUSTAINABILITY
BAMBOO GROWS TO FULL MATURITY IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS.
At ZhuZhi, we harvest one of Earth's fastest-growing plants straight from bamboo forests in China to design naturally beautiful furniture in a process that is environmentally friendly and helps sustain our planet. And bamboo is one of the best plants on Earth to sequester carbon. It releases approximately 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.
SELECTIVE HARVESTING
NO WASTE
Each bamboo culm used in the production of ZhuZhi products is individually selected by the local farmer and harvested by hand. This preserves the ecosystem of the native bamboo forest, and leaves the bamboo root system intact, from which new bamboo shoots will emerge and grow the following year. ZhuZhi does not use clear cutting, a timber harvesting method that involves the removal of standing trees in a given area, commonly used in the wood lumber industry. As such, ZhuZhi utilizes the entire bamboo culm in the manufacturing process, wasting nothing. 100% of the bamboo material is used, including the sawdust, which is put to use generating steam for the dry kiln room and press machine.
STRENGTH DURABILITY
CLASSIC BAMBOO IS 20% HARDER THAN RED OAK, WHILE OUR BAMBOO IS 100% HARDER THAN RED OAK.
ZhuZhi furniture is manufactured using only mature Moso bamboo, ensuring maximum strength and durability for our products.
