- With bamboo-based products on the rise, we wanted to see how they compared to their plastic and paper counterparts. We went to Taiwan and China for a behind-the-scenes look at how bamboo is turned into cups, lunchboxes, toilet paper, and cutlery - and figured out which of these products have the biggest impact on our environment.

Can Bamboo Replace Paper And Plastic? And Should It? | World Wide Waste | Business Insider
Bamboo grows so fast you can actually watch it grow. If there are applications for it, I'm all for it. Especially disposables such as straws and chopsticks.
❤
Nature is fascinating.
Ohh yes
Just get reusable chopsticks
But its a saisonal thing, i heared. Dont know.. 3 month per year?
I'd much rather a bamboo straw over paper that desolves before you're even done with it.
I prefer the no straw method
Where I live straws were outlawed... And I didn't even notice. It's one of the dumbest, most pointless products used by a silly number of people (except for people with disabilities who need them, but thankfully it's still relatively easy to get them, and the law doesn't prevent their getting them.)
Lol you say you will support it until the farmers choose to open the land for bamboo, and then EU and etc scream bloody hell
@@squidge903 You don't live somewhere that has bubble tea shops?
Use a glass fGs!
Speaking from personal experience, bamboo forks and chopsticks are much more pleasant than wooden ones. They have larger fiber so they don't splinter and isn't coated with sawdust.🎍
you have never seen sawdust and there's no "larger fiber" it's goo with some bamboo dust. Wood is wood.
Good to know. I don't think I ever have used it
@@friendlycommentwolf Except bamboo isn't wood, it is a type of grass
@@friendlycommentwolf What are you talking about? Both of you. What? Chopsticks splinter, all the time. No, it isn't an effing composite.
@@IkajoIts still wood but from a grass. Wood evolved multiple times independently from multiple lineages of plants.
The small scale of these futureproof producers is the biggest hurdle for now. It's up to companies and consumers to keep demanding these kinds of products.
If the math adds up, governments can start giving incentives to built up a bamboo economy. Start off with tax incentives or grants to make it directly competitive with products it can replace then let the market try to scale and overcome the efficiency hurdles, then walk back the subsidies.
The question would be if the viability calculations actually add up
bamboo paper and cloth is ultra processed. The chemicals and energy used in these processes are just as bad as plastic production.
@@dogman-on1oc that's very surface level, how does the chemicals make it worse for the environment ?
Which chemicals are being used, is it some heavy metals? Or just bleach to whiten the paper? What kinds of processes are bad? Does it require some extreme heat like melting rocks to make house insulation..? I doubt it.
Chemical processes are always the least scalable and costly parts so its important to know what kinds of problems are being solved chemically... The next question is.. how important is bamboo paper to the bamboo economy
Ooooo. I sense a "subsidy" to "enable small producers to compete" all using middle class tax money thus enriching inner city wokie liberals on city councils.
Get a bidet. They sell for like $60 on Amazon, are easily installed, and honestly I rate it as a top 3 purchase in my life (and I’m 45).
If you’re still letting paper do that job, you’re basically living in 3rd world conditions.
I use maybe 1 roll every 2 months, if that.
Bamboo thrives here in NC. Alot of farmers and people who want privacy use it as a property boundary normanlly filled with hedges or trees.
It is technically a different species though, it's american cane and native to the southeast. It's also endangered, believe it or not with how fast it grows. Besides basket making I didn't come across any industrial uses, so maybe it's not as useful for paper products?
@@qwaszx3561 because of the loss of these native US bamboo the Carolina parakeet went extinct. The bird looked like a parrot.
@qwaszx3561 it would be awesome if he truly is talking about river cane forests but more likely than not these are just forests of invasive bamboo which can be very damaging to the local ecosystem. Regardless it is good to be able to tell the difference and if anyone on the east coast wants a huge gardening project replacing your golden bamboo with river cane is great for the local ecosystem.
@@qwaszx3561 "Besides basket making I didn't come across any industrial uses," Flooring and even clothing can be made from it.
I live in NC and all the bamboo I come across was not planted but invasive. I find it on alot of waterways.
Love this idea. Have know my whole life, bamboo and hemp are the most promising replacement for plastics. But plastics are oil, so another fight agaist the Oil Industry
Plastics replaced metal and wood so the products could be made by unskilled and/or women workers cheaply enough to drive the older products out of the market. In this case, they are replacing workers in our countries with workers in their countries.
Well we can also make algae plastics, since a lot of oil is from compressed ancient algae.
C4 plants are actually vastly superior in warmer climates, especially as climate change reduces available water. Sugarcane is probably the best example of one of these that is severely underutilised, but corn is also a C4
Like the oil and plastic industry. Don’t understand all the oil hate.
If it doesnt dissolve after a few sips on the straw (consuming a mcdo shake) then i say use it
Splinters on your lips
It actually doesn't tried one a few days ago and it just felt like a plastic straw
why do you have to use a straw, or why cant you get a stainless steel one
Our straws have a temperature resistance from -20 degrees celsius to boiling. Although I suppose you can't drink solid ice or scalding water... But they will stay rigid for a very long time. And no, they can't give you splinters whatsoever.
@@einsam_aber_frei No splinters.
Bamboo chairs cups utensils, would totally be better than plastic
The sustainable option is actually using reusable lunch boxes (metal or glass) and cutlery... They can be used indefinitely and don't generate any waste
This is the best option.
This is brilliant. As an arborist, I've had to prune back aggressive bamboo near power lines.
It's difficult to chip! I thought, "There must be some use for this stuff, it's so durable!" I'm glad it's happening.:)
Bamboo fabric is wonderful: sheets, linen, curtains, etc.
ive heard about bamboo yarn for crochet and knitting before and i want to look into it tbh!!
I have bamboo pillows, highly recommend
No. I read the end product no better than polyester and as environmentally unfriendly.
Bamboo fabric is soft but inexpensive. Nothing is environmentally friendly when 7.5 billion people need it.
bamboo paper and cloth is ultra processed. The chemicals and energy used in these processes are just as bad as plastic production.
Bamboo grows fast, but this is not without repercussions. Bamboo sucks nutrients from the soil very fast in order to fuel this growth. In an old bamboo forest, the cycle has balanced out so fallen leaves and dead old bamboo put enough nutrients in the soil for the next generation to grow. But if the bamboo is continuously harvested, pretty soon the soil runs out of nutrients, and we'll need to add fertilizers. Mass farming of bamboo will require mass fertilization. Leaving the land fallow for a year can help slow this down, but again, mass bamboo use = mass bamboo farming = mass fertilization.
people will never realize. industrialization allows the human population to grow to environmentally toxic numbers. we should not have industries this large. It ruins our environment. We should be using items made locally, not shipped from across the world because it is cheaper. We would get to work close to home again, and specialize in creating products that actually make an impact on local community, instead of slaving at a desk doing busy work.
A recently discovered organelle that has a similar function to chloroplasts except it deals with nitrogen fixation they're calling them nitrobplasts and they may very well hold the key to eliminating the need for fertilizer and that's just even less pollution because fertilizers are no good for the environment either
Sensible rotation would be good... plant Moringa 2 years, Bamboo 2 yrs, 2 yrs rest (?)
The big companies should lead the way to being environmentally friendly!
Good luck with that...
BE the change you want to see is all I can say
Using a bidet to wash your ass with water is even more sustainable than using recycled toilet paper.
You still need some to dry off. You use alot less but u still need some.
probably
After cleaning ass with spray you wear underwear@@liamc8085
And your shit gets splashed all over the place 😂
Japanese toilets have this automatic wash and dry function
You never heard of coppicing? Many tree species can regrow after being cut down if cut in winter, unlike what you said at ~7:00, it's not just bamboo
Yes it should be used as a plastic replacement! Same with hemp
This is really good. I hope this gets spread more until it replaces plastic in a few generations
This^
Killing trees ?
Deforestatión to harvest more bamboo to be used to more people 🤷🏾♂️...
😂😂😂
@@nistaffsubs6787 replant. Dont cut down other trees only bamboo is what i am trying to say and make plastic less used.
@@nistaffsubs6787 Bamboo grows SO fast and regrows from its own roots without replanting.
@@nistaffsubs6787Bamboo is basically a weed. Some species of bamboo grows over 2ft per day. It’s a non issue.
0:49 I lived in Hong Kong for 6 years, so the way he pronounced it killed me😂😂 but I’ve never seen construction that didn’t use bamboo for scaffolding there so I can confirm that bamboo is used for scaffolding.
I saw it being used in Tokyo. Blew my mind.
I've seen it in various films/documentaries, and was always fascinated by it.
it's like wooden pallets are still the most used pallets . every attempt at plastic or some other material for pallets has failed because pallets get so much abuse from fork trucks that they have a short life . and wood is still the least expensive option. plus many people use the waste pallets for firewood.
so bamboo in places in asia is the cheapest option vs metal scaffolding.
@@davidhudson7880every jackie chan movie ever. Lol
some construction in the philippines use hollow metal poles
Hemp has entered the chat.
Thank greed, racism and cotton for hemp not being used like it was supposed to be.
Better for the environment, better for soil, strong, versatile, health benefits, grows fast and helps emissions
I hope Lastic can expand to europe; i'd love to buy that over plastic and reguler toilet paper even if they are more expensive.
Me too
We can! We're making some headway there. (I'm Luke from the video)
Buy a bidet no more paper
You can already buy bamboo toilet paper in Europe.
I use a bidet at home. Plus a bucket of towels. I wash those towels every week. So it works towards one of my laundry cycles. They don’t take an extra load tho.
When I heard AS 5810 I knew that had to be an Australian Standard. Always surprised when I hear my boring regulatory job comes up in the wild.
Bamboo and Coconut trees are some of the greatest trees there is.
I think bamboo is a type of grass
@@padi129yes bamboo is grass from chernobyl😂
banana tree as well. You can use every part of it.
Used to be, until many asian countries now have coconut deserts where all the rain forest has been hacked down for mono culture.
this is one of the most comprehensive and holistic videos about sustainability I've seen. give this producer more work!
"Bioadhesive from plants" so a resin?
I’d assume so.
Or possibly a starch.
@@colleenuchiyama4916 Likely plasticized by water-glycerol/water-glycerol-sorbitol mixture in a separate process to create thermoplastic starch and made water-resistant by some crosslinker during final processing
Yes, it's a resin from plants. It's bio based PBS, aka Polybutylene succinate which is made by Mitsubishi Chemical.
I'm Luke from the video.
Forest in Canada is being cut for the USA export market via the soft wood timber agreement, tissue comes from the small trees are none saw logs. If anyone wants to reduce the logging in Canada, the US needs to manage their forest more efficiently.
Incredible. The world needs to move in this direction FAST because the planet is suffering so much. I have new hope in humanity.
I am a advocate for bamboo products for a long time and to replace tree farming to bamboo farming
So vast profiteering monocultures in China rather than say Canada.
3:21 “Lastic has about 30 different formulas which can take nearly any shape including straws.”
Well, probably straws made from bamboo are better than those made from paper and definitely better for the environment than those made from plastic. That said, at home I use a straw made from *glass* which is easy to clean, feels great (almost elegant), and _never_ has to be replaced.
Don't forget, in Asia, bamboo 🎍 🌿 leaf have been used to wrap food for cooking since the Sung dynasty. Sweet rice wraps into pyramid shaped and steamed it 😋
Asian rural communities used bamboo to build stilt houses, the air flowing is suitable for the sub tropical climate
Try using banana leaves for wrapping foods. Using bamboo leaves since the Sung Dynasty is not too impressive.
in my country in southeast asia, we use banana leaves instead and we do wrap it too in pyramid shape, like machang, tho machang is chinese food in my country
@@xXxSkyViperxXx , if you ever wondered why Chinese look cringed all the time, it’s because they eat food wrapped by bamboo leaves.
@@leapdrive im actually chinese from my country in southeast asia. i just ate some food yesterday that had bamboo shoots in them, but normally our machang uses banana leaves for wrapping instead of bamboo leaves cuz for some reason, banana trees are more abundant in my country probably due to mass cultivation of banana instead of bamboo, tho bamboo is sometimes used for boats and modern house and resort garden wall decoration
@@xXxSkyViperxXx , I wasn’t questioning your comment.
the bio-adhesive is probably Methyl Cellulose if i were to take a guess, i use it as a glue in some art like book binding and as an ink modifier. methyl cellulose is a natural DERIVATIVE from plants though, but you gotta methylate cellulose with methyl chloride. which also comes from burning plants lol. chemistry is cool.
Hi! I'm Luke from the video. The bio-adhesive we use is actually Polybutylene succinate (PBS). It's a biodegradable plastic that decomposes into water and carbon dioxide with the microorganism under the soil.
@@user-ou4ou8bf4g You guys should have named your company Grasstic since you use bamboo.
I have had bamboos socks for years and they are still going. Not a hole in sight! Also have a cup made from bamboo. Really nice to drink from!
Based. It's very difficult to get away from plastic. I would love expanded recycling programs like those in west europe.
From what I've read recently, plastic recycling is very ineffective
The reason it's not recycled it's because making new plastic is easier and a byproduct of the fuel industry which Believe it or not causes much less pollution than the EV industry
Jeeze, who's paying you guys to where you feel like non ironically opposing recycling in the 21st century. Actual brain death going on.
I have some clothes made out of bamboo, it's up there with cotton for the nicest feeling material.
Try ramie or proper linen if you can find them. Beats cotton for feel hands down. But rayon is nice too. It's gotten crazy expensive compared to the old days. Priced rayon gold toes? It's just plain nuts.
Yes it can. So can hemp. And yes they should, for certain uses. After the primary use, they can become fuel, and therefore power and biochar, soil amendment, paper products, crude fiber, reinforcement for gypsum cement and hempcrete. No only multi use, multi sequential use.
much better to just use crop waste don't you think?
@@mehere8038 when i think of the advances in polymer creation, which means adhesives and composite materials, from biosources, i'm convinced that we can in fact become much more sustainable.
Please consider adding links to the studies you mention in the video.
Replacing paper and plastic with bamboo so can you write on bamboo and pack food in bamboo
I love Bamboo. Didn't know you could use it as a plastic alternative. Great stuff! Get you straws here MCDONALD'S! 😅
Fantastic, a good environment friendly option. And a good terminology "Planet Friendly".
This is so interesting! I'd love to use bamboo made products! Brilliant!
Bamboo also absorb CO2 from air so the real Carbon footprint may lower than others
I have never met a liberal who actually understands the basic science of planting trees to get rid of carbon in the atmosphere.
Just sit outside on a warm day around 12pm with the sun shining, in a grove of trees. Inhale the pure oxygen and wonder why you feel so good.
10:54 just a note you placed the Indian Flag upside down hope you will fix it soon. Thanks
Edit :- Love from India
Maybe they're indicating that India is in crisis😂
@@zyaicob yup well kind of its in the stage of going into crisis. like election is this year and its not looking good for the government rn. tbh
Glad that someone else noticed it before I did. I've emailed the editors, but I'm unsure if they can correct it now.
As a plastic injection molding engineer. I looked it how much bamboo pellets cost, and it's about double the cost of traditional plastic per a ton. Interesting.
the little custom video recordings as illustrations are adorable
now that ive seen them extrude filament, i can't help but want some for my 3d printer :O
i'd love to see this product in the maker space
Our material works for your 3D printer! (I'm Luke from the video)
These bamboo spoons are usually 20% actual bamboo content. Up to 75% is the bioadhesive (plastic). But still better than nothing.
I would love to see more of this in the US, It's the best possible alternative.
I'm ALL for using more bamboo and hemp, ASAP!! I have switched only using bamboo tooth brushes, towels and washcloths and as many bamboo clothes as I can, and hope we all do the same.
Bamboo znd algae is the way forward!
This has to catch on!
I recently ordered bamboo toilet paper and tissue paper and was wondering if it was any good for the environment. Good to know it is somewhat sustainable and better than the regular ones😊
It's not. This is just propaganda. The products listed here are competitors to the US lumber industry. Basically it is a tree grown in the US vs bamboo grown outside the US. And the lesser suitability for construction with bamboo vs the lumber we already have in place. Bamboo TP is just as much a sheep fleece as the regular type, except more money. A bidet is a real money and resource saver.
I wish the West would explore using bamboo in construction. I know that engineers studied it about a decade ago to lay the groundwork for writing building standards, but never heard anything more about it.
The building lobby is so powerful in most badly run cities. American building codes and practices are about 50 years behind the times. We're still using techniques used 100 years ago, and just try getting a solar panel, geothermal plant, and the best? Septic systems! The inner city makes so much money forcing everyone to use THEIR controlled and expensive resources. It's all about control and money as usual.
Just try building a ram earth building in a liberal city. You'll be jailed.
The video gives hope that bamboo has potential. How much does it cost to to produce a bottle compared with a plastic bottle
We've actually got a very nice looking bottle! It can be used for a few months, then of course it will start to break down. Unfortunately we can't make our material clear, and it does cost more than a single use plastic bottle. (I'm Luke from the video)
@@user-ou4ou8bf4g well, i appreciate your answer and that you took time to respond to my message, as i have said, bamboo is promising, maybe in 5-10 years we will have reached the potential but of course you have to convince politicians and Gouvernements first, or you must bring down the cost of producing a bamboo bottle, then they will find you, but this seems very unlikely
Soo yeah
How much more does it cost to produce a bottle of bamboo, the durability of a bamboo bottle should be increased within the next 5-10 years, you will do it, you will find a solution for that, don't worry
Why is my comment deleted?
@@user-ou4ou8bf4g i believe that you will find a solution to make the bamboo bottle more durable in a few years. Great idea
But if you find a way to make as cheap as plastic bottles, coca cola and pepsi will make you a rich man
How much more does it cost to produce a bamboo bottle compared with a plastic bottle?
@@harris998 For our reusable 600ML bottle, it's just over $1.00 to make. We're always working very hard on being able to make the bottle walls thinner, while still being able to function as it should.
Lastic's innovative approach to combining bamboo with bioadhesives is a significant step forward in sustainable manufacturing. Their commitment to certifications that ensure biodegradability sets a commendable standard for eco-friendly products in the market. 🌱
Thanks chatgpt
@@KingMertel Cheers man!
Ive been using bamboo toliet paper and paper towels for a few years now. The ones i get are not as strong as the named brand paper ones but they get the job done. I use use a lot of cloth napkins and europen dish clothes so cut down on the bamboo paper towers.
I remember going to HK for the first time and seeing the scaffolding....blew my mind
Amazing ❤❤❤❤
So they called it Lastic when bamboo plastic could be BLASTic. Seems easier to work with for marketing. Could even stand for something like Bamboo Long-term Adhesive and Salt Tethered referring to the ingredients that make the product both unique and possible.
I think blast has some negative connotations thinking about environmentalism
Grasstic (bamboo is a type of grass)
blastic explosives!
I grew up around a lot of bamboo in Florida and later I was in Costa Rica for 9 years and I saw way more there. I saw the biggest species there, it's from Asia but I know where to see it in CR. It's huge, easily a foot across. They have a lot of varieties of bamboo there from around the world. I used it around my house and learned to make it bug proof by injecting diesel in the hollow parts.
Yes and yes. So many varied uses, the new shoots can be peeled and cooked and eaten.
All those machines look insanely dangerous
Bamboos are too good to be on this planet 🌏
Very good ❤
Bamboo is the tallest Grass & it grows like grass fast , its the crucial element needed to balance the oxygen n carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere , truly a miracle Grass .
Use Bamboo Paper to make tetra packs. The foil lining would be in contact with the product and the Bamboo Paper on the outside for printing the contents. Bothe are recyclable.
In Romania, the cheapest toilet paper is made from recycled paper. Back in the day, you could occasionally see letters or even fragments of words in it from the original paper. It has a grey colour and feels a bit like sandpaper, so it isn't exactly popular with anyone who can afford better.
Just for reference. The tree used to make paper is often simply grown. Look at the experience of Double A.
Growing forests is no longer new. To assess the impact on the environment, you need to analyze the water consumption of bamboo plantations, soil use and much more.
Usually it all comes down to how responsibly the product manufacturer behaved. You can also make a lot of things from plastic without particularly harming the environment in the process, and then recycle it. Or you can make bamboo dishes that will be filled with carcinogens and will be simply dangerous to use.
It's not a question of how good the bamboo is. This is a question of how willing society is to monitor the environmental friendliness of the production process. Monitor thoughtfully and responsibly. And also manage waste responsibly.
Hemp grows faster, is more sustainable and has more uses than bamboo.
Truth is, if the product is actually good and the material is Farley available, it will find its way to success without people going out of their way to help it succeed
I noticed a package of Charmin toilet paper had a sticker on it indicating it was safe for septic systems. I live in a rural area and have a septic tank, so I look for that designation when I buy TP (currently Scott Tissue). If bamboo TP was septic system safe, I'd happily give it a try.
N.B. Over the centuries, ppl have widely used HEMP as well.
"DIVERSIFY or DIE!" Charles Darwin
Making the bamboo base material so that existing plastic machines can swith to bamboo with barely any changes to their infrastructure could be world changing!!!
Love your voice,perfect to get information out
They should try to approach greenhouses and nurseries. Their containers would be great to swap out their plastic use and cut down on a lot of consumer end waste too!
Honestly only growing it in a greenhouse might be the beast move, bamboo never stops spending
I believe plastic industry will be the last resort of the petroleum producers to stay relevant in the renewable energy era. Once the space-based solar panels get launched, I think we will gradually transition to cheap and clean energy period
Ive seen Avocado pit fork and spoons in some places in Europe.
I guess that's an easier alternative to reach aproval in that Market.
Actually, the only problem with the usage of bamboo products is the cost of harvesting it. Recently, it is mostly based on human work, because bamboo is mostly growing in mountain areas and barely has some convenient roads for vehicles. Maybe one day we can develop a machine to harvest bamboo automatically.
I live in the Netherlands, and there is this small patch of bamboo in my garden, about 5 to 6 meters. Not the right climate, not the right type of soil. But still I could harvest a trailer full of bamboo every year to use as easy building material. And I don't have to kill the plant to harvest it.
It's either you mixed bamboo with abaca fiber of the Philippines which is much sturdier for bag or abaca alone could be the good replacement for plastic bags but, the problem only a few plant abaca.
Bamboo, hemp. sorghum, millet, and various types of seaweed could all be considered as valuable facets of climate readiness solutions.
Innovation will lead the way forward.
Got to be careful though bamboo can spread fast and choke up forest environments
Bamboos are also a type of grass so you're not really cutting down trees. In the Philippines, bamboo shoots and the insides of a bamboo is considered a vegetable and is a staple in cooking.
A good alternative to plastic sounds great, most people don’t know that plastic with the ♻️, don’t get recycled cause they are too expensive or difficult to do
Better then plastic!😊
Would love to try everyday office paper made of bamboo.
Consideration on toilet paper put decoration on you can use for holidays
Thank you for the info
The future of everything. Endless appreciations
I like the toilet paper made from bamboo. Strong yet absorbent and soft.
We are planning on planting Bambusa balcooa at our 150Acre farm becuz the maintenance of a bamboo farm is very easy becuz u don't have to provide it with water or fertilizer after 2-3 years.
Yes. The bonus is that it doesn’t kill humans or get spread like toxic waste in every city every where.
I LOVE BAMBOO! Team China Now And Forever All The Way!👍🙏🐲🐉🐼🇨🇳🙂❗️
I was waiting to see this kind of vid. Thanks!
Bamboo grows a lot quicker than normal trees. It's a more renewable resource. Leave the regular trees alone so we have oxygen and ecosystems have protection from the elements. Trees prevent desertification.
Ingenious! Congratulations.
🇳🇿
I will exclusively shop for bamboo products now thanks
Bamboo is awesome! I ride skateboard decks made from Bamboo that are usually made from Canadian Maple plywood and I think as do many others, that they ride better than Maple and don't even get me started on Tiki decor! 😄
Reasonable ideal ❤
And bamboo shoot is a delicacy for alot of people in Asia. I enjoyed it too we have a lot of bamboo and yes they grow fast.
I actually took a class on the sustainability of bamboo! And I thought it would be good to bring up that with the CO2 emissions, most of it is from using coal and fuel during baking/drying/curing the bamboo and transportation. Which most can be improved as mechanical engineering becomes specialized in bamboo production (there are not many options currently available) and bamboo becomes more available.
What did the class have on controlling the spread on bomboo, im a part time landscaper and I see it as a guaranteed way to make neighbors disliked one another.
@@johnkennel8919there are two types of bamboo rhizomes! There are runners and clumpers. Avoid running species as their rhizomes can branch out and grow very aggressively, so I would recommend clumping bamboo species as they are more manageable, and as the rhyzomes only grow within 20in under the soil, allowing for preventative measures
This makes so much sense.
This gives us hope for a better future
It is really good in scafolding for it can bend real good.
