If all of the above wasn’t enough, the most important quality of Bamboo flooring is that Bamboo itself is one of the most eco-friendly, fast growing, super regenerating materials around. Bamboo can grow up to 50 feet in less than 5 years. Once harvested it regenerates on the same plant very quickly. It can take many hardwood trees 30 years to regenerate from deforestation.

When buying Bamboo flooring, ask the supplier where the Bamboo was grown, if the Bamboo was grown half way across the world then the energy wasted in shipping will negate Bamboo’s eco-friendly qualities. Try and buy with a conscious and look for locally produced Bamboo or if this isn't possible look for the closest grown Bamboo available. Hard-Wood Bamboo flooring construction also needs investigation. Look for flooring that doesn't have much formaldehyde, VOCs - volatile organic compounds, content.
