Abstract

The “Green Gold” of the 21st Century and commonly known as “Poor man’s timber” bamboo played a significant role in human society since time immemorial and today it contributes to the subsistence needs of over a billion people worldwide. It has been traditionally used as fuel, food, for rural housing and shelter, fencing, tools, and various other purposes. In modern days, it is being used as industrial raw material for pulp and paper, construction and engineering materials, panel products, etc. Bamboo which can be grown easily, is much faster in growth than any know tree, and is eco-friendly and adaptable to various locality factors, is now becoming the most promising wood substitute.
