Why Raw Bamboo Materials Matter
Industries across the globe are searching for renewable alternatives to fossil-based and wood-based raw materials. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. It offers consistent performance when processed into standardized feedstocks.
Bamboo chips and bamboo powder are essential inputs for various industrial applications:
Bamboo plastic composites (BPC)
Pulp and paper production
Bio-energy and pelletization
Resins, adhesives, and specialty products
Our New Line of Business: Bamboo Chips and Powder for Industrial Applications
Until now, We Do Bamboo was solely focused on finished bamboo products like decking, cladding, and wall panels. But from now on, we are also a supplier of raw bamboo materials.
Bamboo Chips: Processed, screened, and dried, ready for composite boards, pulp, or energy.
Bamboo Powder: Fine, milled powder suitable for BPC, resins, and specialty manufacturing.
All of this is sourced locally in Kenya and prepared with a focus on quality, consistency, and export readiness.
From Kenya to the World
We process bamboo from a trusted farmer network in Kenya and transform it into standardized materials. Every batch is controlled for moisture content, particle size, and impurities. Documentation and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available on request.
Our logistics are designed for international supply. We offer bulk bags of chips and palletized bags of powder, shipped from the port of Mombasa to wherever you manufacture.
Sustainability and Impact
Choosing bamboo is not only a business decision; it’s also a climate action. Bamboo regenerates rapidly and stores significant amounts of carbon. By turning bamboo into durable products, we extend that carbon storage.
Working with Kenyan farmers creates stable income and strengthens rural communities. For larger programs, we can even provide impact reporting to help you measure and communicate the benefits of sourcing bamboo.
The Versatility of Bamboo in Industry
Bamboo's versatility makes it an ideal choice for various industries. Its unique properties allow it to be used in innovative ways. For instance, bamboo can be transformed into textiles, furniture, and even construction materials. This adaptability opens up numerous opportunities for manufacturers looking for sustainable solutions.
The Economic Benefits of Bamboo
Investing in bamboo not only supports environmental sustainability but also offers economic advantages. By sourcing bamboo locally, businesses can reduce transportation costs and support local economies. This creates a win-win situation for both manufacturers and communities.
Looking Ahead
Becoming a supplier of bamboo chips and powder is a natural extension of what we already do. It allows us to serve a new group of partners: manufacturers looking for renewable, consistent raw materials at scale. We are ready to supply both trial batches and recurring container loads, always with the same focus on quality, sustainability, and reliability.
