China, home to over 6 million hectares of bamboo forests, is at the forefront of leveraging bamboo for global sustainability. Bamboo is fast becoming a vital resource, not only for its environmental benefits but also as a cornerstone of sustainable innovation in industries like construction and packaging. Collaborating with international organizations such as INBAR, the American Bamboo Society, China is helping expand bamboo's global reach.
