Bamboo's solution to plastic pollution: feasibility and challenges ahead
Summary
This perspective review assessed the feasibility of using bamboo as a substitute for conventional plastics to help address the global plastic pollution crisis, noting that bamboo's rapid growth and high biodiversity make it a promising renewable material candidate. The authors discussed both the opportunities and challenges of scaling bamboo-based alternatives to replace single-use plastics and packaging materials.
Plastic pollution is a growing concern globally. Bamboo is globally distributed and highly diverse in species. Bamboo cultivation boosts carbon sequestration and improves environmental quality. Opportunities and challenges coexist for bamboo as a substitute for plastics.
