Bamboo is recognised as a sustainable and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread cutting of our world’s timberland; a fantastic eco-friendly material that grows in abundance without the need for pesticides or harmful chemicals. The species of bamboo used by Typhoon is not from a food source or a habitat for the Giant Panda. Extremely durable and hardwearing, bamboo absorbs very little moisture and consequentially does not shrink or swell as much as other woods.
