HANGZHOU, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Bamboo tableware, bamboo toothbrushes, bamboo fiber towels... A resident surnamed Wang from Hangzhou, staying at a homestay in Baofu Township, Anji County of east China's Zhejiang Province, was delighted to find that products and toiletries used daily were crafted from bamboo.
"Anji, renowned as China's 'bamboo county,' offers these products that are not only locally-made but also eco-friendly," Wang said.
Anji County, with its vast expanse of over 1 million mu (about 66,667 hectares) of bamboo forests, has been a pioneer in integrating bamboo into various sectors such as construction, decoration, furniture, packaging, textiles, and disposable products across China. The county has been at the forefront of promoting bamboo as an alternative to plastic in recent years.
"Bamboo, being one of the fastest-growing plants with exceptional carbon sequestration capabilities, is an ideal material for sustainable and green practices. It is estimated that utilizing 100 million tonnes of bamboo to replace PVC products could potentially reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 600 million tonnes," explained Chen Jie, director of the Bamboo Industry Development Center under the county's forestry bureau, highlighting the significance of the "bamboo instead of plastic" initiative.
