The trees are mainly grown for the latex sap they produce, but once the tree reaches the end of its lifecycle and stops excreting sap, the wood is harvested for processing. New trees are planted to replace the trees that are harvested. Bamboo is also a remarkable green material because it prevents soil erosion, supplies biofuel, and provides a wholesome food source for wildlife. Bamboo produces more oxygen and can absorb more carbon dioxide compared to an equivalent tree mass. Additionally, it does not take very long to regrow a bamboo crop. Eco Frames are naturally better for the environment because they are made with sustainable wood that is responsibly harvested. See More
