Why
Not
Wood
Traditional use of Wood and Bamboo
BAMBOO WOOD
Grows 3times faster Normal growth
Ready and rapid adoptability Wood resources are getting
Harvested annually without diminished
destructing
No annual harvesting
Less capital
More capital
Used by Any villager
Unskilled labour
More Rehabilitation of the soil
Resists tension up to 400 N/mm2 Controls soil erosion
Regenerated in shorter period and Resists tension only up to 50 N/mm2
easy Takes more time to regenerate and
Tolerance to changing temperatures difficult
Tensile strength more than steel Swell or wrap at different
High elastic modulus temperatures
Light weight Heavier weight
Worked out by simple tools Needs heavier tools
Cost of construction is low Higher cost of construction
Forest Cover in India
329 m hectares land area
63.34 m hectares notified as forest
19.15%
Dense forest - 11%
Open forest - 8%
Mangrove - 0.15%
Therefore, there is a need to save forest timber.
Bamboo Addresses THREE Major National
Concerns
ECOLOGICAL SECURITY: conservation of forests through timber substitution,
alternate materials to non-biodegradable & high energy consuming materials like
metals and plastics

Bamboo has lower natural durability against attack of
fungi and insects
- requires treatment to increase durability - difficult
to be treated by normal preservative methods in
dry conditions.
- Best carried out in green conditions.
