The TM Edit: 10 Of The Best Bamboo Promotional Products

Perhaps once best known solely as the snack of choice for peckish pandas (who eat anywhere between 12-38kg of it every single day, with the shoots and leaves comprising up to 99% of their dietary intake), bamboo is officially stepping into the sustainability spotlight. 

This sturdy, water-resistant and fast-growing natural material is becoming an increasingly popular choice for product design - and makes a fantastic eco-friendly option for businesses currently looking to invest in green-leaning promotional merchandise.

If your business is currently working hard to up its eco-friendly credentials, consider choosing promotional products that boast green origins or practices behind them. One easy way to do this is to choose branded merchandise made from materials that you can rely on to have a natural source.

Whether they are naturally sustainable or have been made from recycled items (such as our Brite Mat Tyre Coasters, for example), considering the source of a product is a great way to ensure the items you give your customers aren't harming the environment. 

Why Consider Bamboo Promotional Products?

There are a variety of great reasons to consider bamboo-based promotional merchandise. As a material, it is becoming increasingly popular for a variety of reasons - eco-friendliness aside, it's also incredibly durable and even water-resistant. 

Bamboo is a sustainable and natural material that can grow under a wide range of climatic settings; whilst it's typically associated with balmier climes, it can also endure wintry conditions of as low as -20°F. As well as growing in wild conditions, it's also a favourite among gardeners who are keen to add a tropical touch to their spaces. 

One thing you can certainly say about bamboo is it's resilient. It was one of the first plants spotted growing after the nuclear destruction caused by the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and it can rival steel in terms of its sheer strength.

For reasons like that, it's the perfect core material for items such as our Bamboo Bluetooth Speakers and Bamboo X 5W Wireless Chargers.

Despite its natural tree-like appearance, bamboo is technically classified as a type of grass. The key difference? Bamboo lacks the layer of - and brace yourself for some science here, people - vascular cambium layer, which is what allows actual trees to grow in diameter each year.

Similarly, it also lacks the necessary cells required to allow it to grow taller each year, with bamboo reaching its full and final growth capacity within one season. And while we're on the subject of biology, there are upwards of 1,500 different varieties of bamboo - pretty incredible, don't you think?

According to Guinness World Records, a variety of bamboo is the world's fastest-growing plant, with the ability to shoot up at a jaw-dropping rate of 0.00003km per hour.
