Relying On Innovation To Break Through The Ceiling Of The Bamboo And Wood Product Market

China's bamboo industry has been developing for nearly 30 years, but the industry has not grown large, and the enterprises are small and scattered. Chairman Lin Hai of Hangzhou Dazhuang Bamboo Technology Co., Ltd. believes that the important reason is that the bamboo industry has never found a product with a large market platform. The traditional bamboo products such as mats, floors, chopsticks, cutting boards, toothpicks, etc. have a very limited market, and the market is growing. There are "ceilings". But through technological innovation, bamboo industrial products can break through the "ceiling" of the market.

The advent of a new material, bamboo steel, boosted bamboo products to break through the "ceiling" of the market. According to Yu Wenji, chief scientist of the Timber Institute of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, bamboo steel is a high-performance bamboo-based fiber composite material made from my country's rich bamboo resources and advanced technologies such as directional fine decompression. Features high weather resistance, high continuous stability and high environmental protection. The core technology of bamboo steel is that bamboo can completely get rid of traditional craftsmanship in the processing process, and the utilization rate of bamboo can reach more than 90% without removing the core and yellowing. At present, this technology is a technology that our country has fully mastered with independent intellectual property rights, and the products have been used to produce 42.5-meter-long wind power blades.

Yu Wenji said that with the promotion of this technology, the bamboo industry now has more than 30 companies producing similar bamboo steel products. The production capacity in 2018 reached 200,000 cubic meters, and the production capacity in 2019 is likely to double again.
