Abstract
This study investigates the use of bamboo in different industrial sectors, including construction and energy, to highlight its mechanical properties, resources, and innovative use through information gathered from Ethiopia, Guinea, and Georgia (Caucasus) as study cases. Research shows that bamboo is a common plant and an easily accessible material possessing remarkable characteristics for different applications in different countries. The main goal of this study is to highlight the properties of bamboo that make it an interesting material with applications in several economic branches as a green material positively influencing the environment. The results of this study show a utilitarian use of bamboo in industries where production is based on bamboo or bamboo-related materials and wide possibilities for using bamboo in innovative and creative ways. Bamboo’s mechanical and physicochemical properties are discussed as well as its potential as a raw material for use in composites or for the production and processing of semi-finished products and parts of end devices, all with a view to its positive environmental impact.
