\n\u2022 Bamboo is a completely natural and renewable resource that rapidly and abundantly grows in many different climates.
\n\u2022 It is a crop that regrows after harvesting without needing to be replanted.
\n\u2022 Additionally, it is also a good option for soil health and uses less water than other timber crops.
\n\u2022 Bamboo is a fast-growing and sustainable crop that is easily accessible and economically inexpensive.
\n\u2022 Bamboo has properties such as natural pest resistance, flexibility, and durability that make it a good material choice for multiple purposes.
\n\u2022 Bamboo has become one of the most popular zero-waste, eco-friendly, and versatile materials.
\n\u2022 It is used in everything from textiles (wet wipes) to wooden items like reusable utensils, crockery, cutlery and drinking straws, water bottles, furniture, paper, and tooth brushes.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Bamboo products may cause allergies in susceptible people and is susceptible to pests and fungal molds unless it is chemically treated.
\n\u2022 If bamboo is irresponsibly grown it may spread rapidly and invade nearby ecosystems.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.saveglobe.in\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/OIP-12-300x199.jpg\")

\n\u2022 Cork is obtained from the barks of Cork Oak (Quercus suber) mature trees. So, trees do not need to be cut down for harvesting, which makes them a very sustainable crop.
\n\u2022 Cork is an incredible material as it is light in weight, waterproof, buoyant, elastic, and has fire-retardant properties. It is fully biodegradable and recyclable.
\n\u2022 Cork is a highly pliable and versatile material and makes a great alternative to plastics, foam, leather, wood, and some fabrics.
\n\u2022 Additionally, Cork Oaks absorb more carbon from atmosphere, after the bark has been harvested, as the trees kick into overdrive to regrow the bark.
\n\u2022 Cork is used in a huge number of different applications in the form of wine bottle corks, flooring, purses and wallets, shoe soles, insulation, coasters, building blocks, buoys, musical instruments, and sports equipment.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 There are no notable disadvantages to cork material.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.saveglobe.in\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/13_soil-487_1-300x200.jpg\")

\n\u2022 Tipa bio-plastics are completely biodegradable and home compostable. They are made from plant-based materials that break down just like any other plant matter.
\n\u2022 Tipa can be made into resin, multi-layer film structures, and laminates that can be used for packaging which requires to be durable, sealable, transparent, waterproof, and can be easily printed on.
\n\u2022 Tipa plastic is mainly used as packaging material in the food (bread bags, tea bags, and salad packs) and fashion (garment bags and zipper bags) industries.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Tipa material is not yet widely available and currently its uses are limited to packaging.
\n\u2022 Presently, there are no consumable items available at the market.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.saveglobe.in\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/OIP-13-300x300.jpg\")

\n\u2022 Hemp variety of the Cannabis (C. sativa) plant is specifically grown for industrial purpose. Hemp is completely biodegradable and a very sustainable crop.
\n\u2022 It is similar to Bamboo as it grows phenomenally fast using very less water. It is hardy to a wide variety of climates making it a renewable crop without extensive use of pesticides.
\n\u2022 Hemp has been used as a naturally strong and durable fibre for textiles for over 50,000 years as it has three times the tensile strength of cotton. Moreover, this plant material can be refined into many different forms and used to produce a wide variety of products.
\n\u2022 Hemp has many different commercial uses including yarn and textiles for fabrics to make clothing and home furnishings, rope, and paper.
\n\u2022 It is also used to make paint, insulation, bio-fuel, and biodegradable plastics.
\n\u2022 More recently, there are an abundance of products that contain hemp oil, including soaps and cosmetics.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Hemp crop is not produced at a large scale so the products are a little bit expensive.
\n\u2022 Some people have a negative association with Hemp because it comes from the same plant species as Marijuana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
