Bamboo by Natural Cork - available at 1 store *

Actually a grass, bamboo is the fastest growing plant, shooting up as much as a foot each day. Young, bamboo can be used in a stir fry, pickled as a condiment, or even turned into a wine, liquor, or a soft drink. Mature bamboo is used in China to make everything from chopsticks to furniture and hats to canoes. Bamboo is even dependable enough to be used as a substitute for steel reinforcing rods in concrete construction.

Natural Cork's bamboo flooring is steamed, flattened, glued together, finished, and cut before you get it, preserving it for extended use. This wood substitute is resistant to bugs and moisture, is 10% sturdier than red oak, and costs less than wood.

While other hardwoods take half a century to reach maturity, bamboo crops fully regenerate in five to six years, making them extremely eco-friendly and the most sustainable option available.
