Carbon-negative. Standards-verified.
Every BAMOSB panel sequesters more carbon than its manufacturing emits. The figure is not a marketing claim — it is verified by a third-party EPD and disclosed cradle-to-gate.
One cubic meter of BAMOSB. One point four one tonnes of CO₂.
This is the number that goes on the EPD, on the procurement document, and in the LEED submission. It is negative because the bamboo absorbs more carbon growing than the factory emits processing it.
From culm to panel to recovered fiber.
A closed-loop story. Every stage of the BAMOSB lifecycle is documented in the EPD — and at end of life, the panel is recoverable as fuel for the next press cycle.
Moso grove
5-year harvest cycle. Root system stays alive. FSC-certified.
Strand production
Culms split, boiled, dried, precision-cut into 75mm strands.
Adhesive blending
Zero-formaldehyde MDI adhesive. 0% added urea-formaldehyde.
Press cycle
Continuous press at 200°C, 60s dwell. No boilers, no waste heat.
End of life
Recovered as fuel for the next press cycle, or recycled into BAMOSB-R.
What the verified lifecycle data says.
BAMOSB vs wood OSB vs concrete.
The honest carbon math, side by side, for a typical 1m³ structural panel application.
BAMOSB bamboo panel
- Net negative — bamboo absorbs more than we emit
- Moso bamboo: 5-year harvest cycle
- FSC certified, root system preserved
- 0% formaldehyde
Conventional wood OSB
- Net positive — softwood harvested faster than regrown
- Pine/aspen: 30-80 year harvest cycle
- FSC rare; clear-cut common in some regions
- Urea-formaldehyde binder (E1/E0 grade typical)

"The carbon math is not a feel-good claim. It is the basis on which our customers win institutional procurement — government buildings, LEED projects, BREEAM, and the EU taxonomy."
