Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

Bamboo Veneer Lumber™ (BVL) is a high-performance material made from processed bamboo fibers through a patented, zero-waste process using natural binders. It provides a sustainable alternative to conventional wood, steel, and plastics. While global demand for timber fuels deforestation and plastics pollute ecosystems, bamboo grows in just 3–5 years, capturing more CO₂ than most trees and regenerating without replanting. BVL is up to 3 times stronger than wood, yet lighter, more flexible, and free from toxic synthetic resins. Compared to plastics, it is recyclable and biobased, avoiding long-lasting waste. Through our decentralized microfactory model, BVL can be produced locally in bamboo-rich regions in global south, reducing transport emissions creating green jobs, and adding value to underused resources. By combining strength, sustainability, and circularity, BVL offers a scalable solution to reduce deforestation, cut carbon emissions, and accelerate the shift to a sustainable future.
