WHO ARE WE?
Bamazon™ is a Brazilian company created to develop bamboo into deep, green, ecological timber alternatives. Our project helps to mitigate deforestation and climate change while creating green jobs. Bamazon™. Sparking the bamboo revolution in Brazil.
OUR FOCUS
Bamazon’s focus is the Amazon Rainforest, known as the lungs of the world. It used to be in the news a lot more than it is today, so many people assume the deforestation has stopped and all is well. The fact is, all is not well…
THE PROBLEM
The Rainforest is Burning
Every day, more than 10,000 acres of rainforest is being burned. In these remote regions, people either burn the rainforest, or they starve. Burning the forest makes way for cattle and soybean production, or the timber is used in the production of iron.
Remaining Brazilian Rainforest
Deforestation continues in many states of Brazil. At the current rate, there will be less than half of the rainforest remaining in 100 years.
Bamboo is quickly becoming the dominant species, and is causing a “choking problem” in the Amazon Rainforest. Its tends to overtake areas where sunlight is available, which restricts the variety of regrowth that is necessary for the health of the forest. Bamboo is becoming disruptive to the ecosystem, but is also one of the most rapdly renewable resources on the planet. Until now, it has been largely under-utilized.
Our Solution
Bamazon’s mission is to protect, restore and reforest the Amazon Rainforest while providing the highest quality bamboo building materials available. Our bamboo is carefully harvested to preserve the Rainforest’s natural ecosystem.
Bamazon™ meets and exceeds the highest building materials standards in the industry for structure as well as air quality, as well as being FSC and Rainforest Alliance Certified.
Bamboo Facts
Stronger Than Steel
Bamboo has an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Certain species rival steel in tensile strength while remaining lighter and more flexible, making bamboo both durable and resilient in real-world applications.
Absorbs Carbon Dioxide
As it grows, bamboo absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into the atmosphere. Its fast regeneration makes bamboo an effective plant for carbon capture and environmental balance.
Grows Really Fast
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth. Under ideal conditions, some species can grow several centimeters per hour, allowing bamboo to renew far more quickly than traditional timber.
Matures in 3-5 Years
Most bamboo reaches full maturity in just three to five years. This rapid lifecycle allows it to be harvested responsibly without long-term damage to forests or surrounding ecosystems.
RENEWABLE RESOURCE
Bamboo regenerates naturally after harvesting and does not require replanting. Its root system stays intact, helping prevent erosion while supporting continuous, sustainable growth.
Aesthetic & Unique
Naturally warm and visually distinctive, bamboo offers organic textures and subtle variation in every piece. Its timeless appearance works equally well in modern, rustic, and architectural designs.
