Detailed Description

The bamboo product industry should address multiple challenges to achieve both environmental sustainability and commercial success. As bamboo is widely acknowledged for being a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional materials such as cane and jute, artisans face difficulties such as limited supplies, complex regulations, and lack of knowledge of suitable manufacturing techniques. The misconception that bamboo goods are expensive creates complexities in the industry's recovery. Understanding the importance of addressing these challenges, this project aims to explore potential solutions, innovations and opportunities for the bamboo sector. This initiative aims to revive the bamboo industry by creating community support, improving educational initiatives, and emphasising the affordability and sustainability of the same. This project aims to promote economic growth through design interventions while also preserving the environment.
