40 Different types of bamboo products

I wanted to know (and share) many of the most popular uses for bamboo today. I always enjoy learning about new things, especially when they are environmentally friendly — and just plain cool.

So please enjoy this interesting list of 42 different bamboo products that are sold around the world today!

Bamboo gardens:

One of the most popular uses of bamboo is for decorating your own backyard! There are plenty of great examples on Google — but the important part is using the fast-growing tree creatively.

Bamboo flooring:

Bamboo is an old material used for flooring in many parts of Asia. Recently, there has been a growing trend of using this amazing type of wood in parts of the West though.

Would you try it?

Bamboo pillows:

Bamboo pillows are becoming quite popular in Canada and the US lately. My mom even recently asked me about it as she knew I was interested in the subject. Apparently many of her neighbors swear by the comfort and eco-nature of these kinds of pillows.

I definitely will be getting one of my own soon.

Bamboo plants for inside the house:

Even though bamboo is an extremely fast-growing type of tree, certain varieties are suitable for use as house plants. Not only are they easy to maintain, but you can use them to add a unique look and feel to your home.

Bamboo sheets:

Although they can be a bit pricey because of the eco-friendly nature of this type of cloth production, bamboo sheets are starting to become commonplace in North America.

They’re known for their lightness and ultra comfortable feeling. Many brands have positioned bamboo sheets as a luxury item — as they should!

Lucky bamboo:

The famous lucky bamboo! I used to have a small plant in my office for a few years until it was unfortunately misplaced while I was on vacation. I still suspect a co-worker of sabotage, but who knows!

These are not only a nice decoration for your desk at the home or office, but they are supposed to bring the owner good luck, too!

Bamboo fencing:

While bamboo has been used as a building material for centuries if not millennia, it is just recently starting to be used more and more around the world.

There are a huge variety of types of bamboo trees — and just as many types of fences and aesthetics.

Bamboo houses:

Bamboo houses exist all over the world nowadays, but they are especially popular in Asia. I’ve visited some incredibly amazing houses built out of bamboo in Bali recently, and I fell in love with this style of architecture.

They get even more interesting and beautiful when famous designers and architects start playing with the material.

Bamboo blinds, curtains, and shades:

Another example of an indoor use for bamboo, manufacturers, and designers are now creating many different types of Roman blinds, shades, and curtains made completely out of bamboo.

There are many different styles and not all might be palatable to your tastes, but I’m sure there is at least one type that would be.

If you’re looking for a classy set of bamboo blinds to add to your house, check out the top-selling brand on Amazon.

Bamboo toilet paper and paper towels:

Now that bamboo is becoming easier to process with advances in technology, all sorts of uses are coming up for it. If you can make it out of wood, you can make it with bamboo.

I especially like finding more creative ways of using it (and especially the above branding of Who Gives a Crap). Kudos to them!

There are more than a few varieties of bamboo toilet paper available too. Eco-friendly and comfortable, not bad!

Bamboo toothbrushes:

Alongside the eco-friendly theme of bamboo products, clever entrepreneurs out there are creating more and more environmentally friendly goods.

Here’s an example of bamboo toothbrushes that use charcoal brushes — a new trend in dentistry. I use one myself and can attest to its function and feel.

Bamboo earrings:

Another unique use of bamboo, designers have started creating jewelry with the versatile material. While I don’t wear earrings myself, I’m sure some people would love to wear these around.

There’s also plenty of different styles out there other than the one pictured above, go have a look!

Bamboo charcoal:

One of the newer trends to pop up is the use of charcoal made out of bamboo. Some people even claim it has medicinal properties, but I haven’t looked into that aspect myself (yet).

I’m more of a fan of the quick-growing renewable nature of bamboo itself, which lends itself perfectly to combustible uses like charcoal.

Bamboo mattress:

Even entire mattresses are made out of bamboo these days! Known for their comfort, anti-sweating properties, and sustainability, they are becoming more and more popular every day.

They also make more affordable soft and comfortable mattress covers out of bamboo too.

Bamboo chairs and furniture:

Speaking of bamboo furniture, there are a lot of designers out there constantly creating new and interesting practical works of art these days.

A quick search on Etsy or Amazon will show you a lot of very interesting pieces you can get for your own home or office.

Bamboo straws:

A couple of years ago, the fast-food industry took a lot of heat for their wastefulness in regard to disposable plastics. For some reason, the outrage mostly focused on plastic straws (even though they use plastics in many of their containers).

One of the common solutions proposed? Bamboo straws.

Bamboo cutting boards:

Bamboo is also a perfect material for kitchen products, like bamboo cutting boards. The interesting texture and eco-friendly nature of its sourcing lends itself to being a perfect addition to your cooking toolkit.
