About us

EcoPlanet Bamboo is leading the commercialization of bamboo as a sustainable, deforestation-free, climate friendly, alternative fibre for some of the world’s largest industries. We are a triple bottom line company putting equal emphasis on people, planet and profit, and building a team that is collaborative, entrepreneurial and passionate about driving sustainable development and long-term positive impact through business.

Our operations are expanding with carbon financed bamboo farms in Nicaragua, South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda and the Philippines. Our projects apply our successful model of landscape restoration, providing a solution to three of the world’s most critical environmental problems: the need for effective solutions to mitigate global climate change; holistic restoration of the world’s most degraded landscapes; and a growing population that requires sustainable alternatives for consumer products and markets that still contribute to deforestation and deforestation driven emissions.

In Ghana, EcoPlanet Bamboo is restoring the North Bandai and Bandai Hills Forest Reserves outside Asante Akyem Agogo in the Ashanti Region, where over 11,000 hectares are being reforested with bamboo and native trees, and key conservation areas protected.
