Why Choose Bamboo Products?
A Simple Switch with a Big Impact
At Tu-Untangle, we’re always looking for ways to reduce single-use plastics without sacrificing quality or convenience. One of our favorite solutions? Bamboo.
Bamboo is more than just a trendy material. It’s an incredibly sustainable, versatile alternative to plastic—and it’s a big part of our mission to untangle the planet from waste.
1. Fastest Growing Plant on Earth
Bamboo can grow up to 100 cm (39 inches) in a single day under optimal conditions.
That rapid growth means it can be harvested more frequently than wood.
Makes it a renewable, low-impact material for consumer products.

2. Technically a Grass, Not a Tree
Many people think bamboo is a tree—but it’s actually a grass.
This means it doesn’t need replanting after harvesting.
When cut, it regenerates from its root system naturally, reducing soil erosion.

3. Matures Quickly
Unlike hardwood trees that can take decades to mature, bamboo can be harvested in just 2–5 years.
This rapid maturity rate makes it an exceptionally sustainable material.
4. Self-Renewing Without Chemicals
When bamboo is harvested, it grows back on its own—no need for fertilizers or replanting.
It often requires no pesticides or herbicides to thrive.
This makes bamboo farming gentler on the environment.
5. Naturally Antibacterial
Bamboo fibers are naturally antibacterial and resist mold and mildew.
Ideal for products like toothbrush handles and combs.
Reduces the need for chemical treatments.
6. Produces More Oxygen
Bamboo is a powerhouse when it comes to carbon sequestration.
It can produce up to 35% more oxygen than equivalent stands of trees.
Helps combat climate change while providing valuable raw material.
