Deep into a Bamboo Forest

Sustainability

is in our nature

At bamboo bioproducts, sustainability and responsibility are integral to our practices. 

Sustainability practices

We will farm bamboo from our sustainably managed forests for the resource-efficient production of our pulp. We will produce significant amounts of renewable energy and other biofuel from our residual biomass, which can replace fossil-based raw materials as well.

Bioenergy and bioproducts

We are committed to utilising our bamboo raw material as efficiently and diversely as possible. Bamboo is a type of biomass material that has great potential as a bio-energy resource.

 

Prior to processing our bamboo, we will use residual twigs and branches to support a Jamaican cottage industry that produces straws and stirrers. Furthermore, the side-streams of the pulp production process open up a wide variety of opportunities for the extraction, refining and development of new and exciting bioproducts from residual biomass including road infill and biochar.

Throughout our supply chain, we are continually striving for increasing efficiency in terms of the environment, and in terms of resources, raw materials, water and energy. 

​

The Recovery Boiler selected for the bamboo bioproducts mill not only recovers chemicals and generates power efficiently, but also does so in a safe, reliable and environmentally sound process. The power generated by the mill is more than the mill consumes. It, therefore, has a small surplus of electricity which we intend to use for the benefit of the host community.

Education and training

The lack of education and training necessary for earning a sufficient income is a key challenge in many local communities. At bbp, we are committed to providing various programmes, vocational trainings and scholarships to help improve this. 

Local economy

Find out how we plan to address local economic concerns, including lack of job opportunities and farming contracts. 

Social infrastructure

Aiding the health and infrastructure of local communities is integral to our practices. Find out how we plan to address local concerns, including pollution, damaged roads and housing.

Social outreach needs

At bbp, we are committed to the welfare of local vulnerable groups, including children, elderly, poor and disabled people. Find out more on our plans for social outreach needs.
