In recent years, the idea of a ‘circular economy’ has been gaining traction. Bamboo could be a critical component in the transition to a circular economy, by providing a viable, bio-based alternative for non-renewable, carbon-intensive ‘techno-cycle’ materials. This report considers a number of bamboo product categories for their ‘circularity potential’, and assesses what is needed to help them realise their full potential, providing policy makers, donors and business investors with a greater understanding of bamboo’s huge potential in the circular economy.
