and printers which we rely on so often in our offices. This "stale air" is bad
for our health and is usually positively charged air particles and can often
be remedied by airing regularly or neutralizing with negative ions.
Food:
Young bamboo shoots are highly prized in Japan and Taiwan for their
delicate flavor and texture and are an important seasonal dish in Japanese
cuisine. Bamboo shoots are a source of carbohydrate, vegetable fat,
protein and vitamin B, which improves blood circulation.
Energy/fuel:
Although wood charcoal makes a good fuel, bamboo charcoal is almost
three times as porous as wood and bamboo charcoal contains a large
amount of minerals, such as iron, manganese and potassium. Bamboo has
a high calorific power, and its smoke produces little odor because it has
many minerals and few impurities. It produces more than 7,000 kilocalories
per kilogram, more than wood and half that of raw petroleum, making it a
much more effective fuel.
Garden and Aquarium
Bamboo charcoal releases natural minerals into water, keeping your
flowers and fish healthy. Also, the charcoal purifies water, saving your time
to take care of your aquarium. After using charcoal, break it into pieces and
sprinkle on your garden or blend into soil. Plants will grow faster and
stronger.
FACT:
In fact, bamboo burns so well that in 1882 Thomas Edison discovered that
the carbonized bamboo made an ideal filament for his first electric light
bulb.

Bamboo Charcoal is produced from the rapidly growing moso bamboo.
This type of bamboo can grow two feet or more in a single day, reaching a
height of 60 feet in two to three months.
Due to the growth characteristics of moso bamboo, millions of tiny holes
are created as the plant densifies as it matures, a process taking
approximately five years. It is these tiny holes that ultimately give the
resulting bamboo charcoal its revolutionary abilities as both a deodorizer
and dehumidifier. These benefits have been enjoyed for more than five
centuries in Asia.
Bamboo forests are widely planted throughout Asia, and due to the
resurgence in the recognition of its benefits, many more acres are planted
every day. And as bamboo takes only five years from seedling to mature
plant, it will be readily available for all future generations.
With proper care, your bamboo charcoal product can last up to one year.
After this, and because it is a 100% natural product, it can be recycled into
the ecosystem.

...instead of masks odours. Compared to regular charcoal, bamboo
charcoal has ten times more surface area and is four times stronger in its
absorption rate. The porous structure of bamboo charcoal provides
countless tiny holes that effectively absorb odours, moisture, and polluted
air particles such as formaldehyde, ammonia, and benzene.
Use bamboo charcoal as a:
o deodorizer in your fridge, freezer, bedroom and bathroom, gym
bag, hockey equipment, footwear, kitchen, car, pet area,
renovation area, garage, compost pail and diaper pail
o decoration for home and vivarium
o air filter to absorb toxic chemical substances for commercial and
industrial applications

When submersed in water, bamboo charcoal softens the water, absorbs
harmful minerals including chlorine and releases its natural minerals
(calcium, sodium, magnesium) into the water.
Use bamboo charcoal as a:
o aquarium filter
o water filter for bath water and non-drinking water for general
household and industrial use
o decoration for aquarium and floral arrangements

By mixing bamboo charcoal granules with soil, countless pores from the
granules absorb and hold excessive moisture. This moisture gets released
back into the soil when it gets dry; providing better aeration for grass,
plants and vegetables.
