Description
Made from sustainable resources; this bamboo coffin is 100% natural and biodegradable. Tested to bear heavy loads, it is very strong.
Our Fair Trade crafted bamboo coffins are woven from the sustainable and flexible bamboo cane. This bamboo eco coffin has been woven in the traditional way, giving it a smooth surface. The straw coloured bamboo has a light green hue, and as with all natural materials, the colour of the bamboo can slightly differ on each strand.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth with a typical growth rate of 3 – 10 cm per day but in good conditions some species can also grow up to nearly a metre per day. A bamboo grove also produces 30% more oxygen than trees.
