 Here at ecogreen, we use a species of bamboo called "LUONG". It is considered the hardest of 1300 other bamboo species in the world. Asia has more than 2 million square miles of bamboo under cultivation and is considered a great natural resource for years to come.
 You may not know that Bamboo is actually a grass. And it has been used in Asia for thousands of years. One of the modern, environmentally friendly and durable alternatives to hardwood is bamboo flooring. Being a grass, as opposed to a timber, gives bamboo the edge as not only a building product (being strong and at the same time flexible), but also as a sustainable resource: wood takes approximately 15-20 years to reach maturity, whereas the non-harmful harvesting of bamboo takes a mere 4 to 5 years.
 Bamboo has traditionally been the material of choice in most of Asia, and it is only recently that its benefits and environmental properties have begun to be utilized more fully in the west.
