Ecoboo is an exciting new range of children's toys and other products made from the highest quality bamboo. They are bright, fun, environmentally safe, and are designed to withstand the rigours of play from the most active of children. Developed with the intention of educating children through play, and educating parents about the depletion of the worlds tropical forests.
100 years ago Sumatra, Indonesia had 16 million hectares of lowland rainforests, today the figure is a pitiful ½ million hectares.
Bamboo is a grass, not a wood, it has an extensive root system that continues to replenish itself continually sending up new shoots. It is re-harvestable every 3 to 5 years, making it one of the most renewable resources in the world. It’s harder than maple, lighter than oak and can be as strong as steel.
At ecoboo we all share the philosophy; we need to make changes in our lives, to secure a future for our children.
Around the world our rainforests are being depleted, satellite images have revealed that an area of approximately 5800 sq miles of the Amazon rainforest is burnt or cleared each year to make way for cattle ranching, farming or other development.
To put this into perspective, an area ¾ the size of Wales is being lost every year, this is nearly 16 sq. miles every day.
Bamboo holds the promise of a cost effective, sustainable and ecological alternative to the widespread cutting of our forests.
Most companies are now using FSC approved wood. However, the Forestry Stewardship Council re-planting schemes are taking 30 - 60 years for those trees to grow into a re-harvestable resource.
Bamboo holds the promise to be a sustainable, cost effective and ecological alternative to the widespread cutting of our forests. Choosing bamboo will make a difference; it's your choice...their future.
Bamboo is a grass, not a wood! - It is the fastest growing plant on the planet with some species having been recorded to grow 4 feet in just 24 hours
- It is harvestable in 3 years, and after harvesting bamboo naturally replenishes itself. It has an extensive root system that continually sends up new shoots. Bamboo is 16% harder than maple, 1/3 lighter in weight than oak, and in some instances as strong as steel
- Bamboo plants produce 35% more oxygen than any tree species, and its consumption of carbon dioxide removes pollution from the atmosphere
- It is widely believed that if bamboo were to be planted on a mass scale, the effects of global warming could be vastly reduced in as little as 6 years
