Prosperity Initiative has completed a new and improved Pressed Bamboo Prospectus. This revised version provides more detailed and up to date
information about an investment in pressed bamboo, including market analysis, product specification and applications, manufacturing process, financial performance and impact on poverty reduction.

Pressed bamboo is a high-value product that represents a critical breakthrough for the bamboo industry. Currently being manufactured mainly in China, the global market for pressed bamboo as a cheaper, more sustainable and stronger alternative to many traditional hardwoods is vast. The world is facing a worsening shortage of hardwood supply compared to growing demand. At the same time, world consumers are shifting demand towards renewable materials and environmentally-friendly products. Pressed bamboo block is therefore a key product that could transform the traditional bamboo sector into a high value industry that competes for market share of the multi-billion dollar global wood industry.
