What is Bamboo Charcoal?

With benefits that have been enjoyed in Asia for more than five centuries, bamboo charcoal is produced from the rapidly growing moso bamboo. Taking only five years from seedling to maturity, this type of bamboo can grow two feet or more in a single day, reaching a height of 60 feet in two to three months. When the bamboo is ready for harvest, it is cut down and laid out to dry for a few weeks. Then placed it into a kiln to be cooked without oxygen at 800°C.

How Does it Work?

During the carbonization process, the charcoal develops millions of tiny, porous holes and as air passes through the pores, odor, allergens, bacteria and moisture particles are trapped on the surface, which in turn purifies the air. In damp and musty environments the bamboo charcoal will absorb excess moisture to prevent mold, mildew and bacteria from forming. It is completely fragrance free, non-toxic, and lasts up to two years.

Sustainable Disposal

After 2 years as an air purifier, the Bamboo Charcoal in the SideKick bag makes a wonderful addition to your garden. Simply cut open the SideKick bag and sprinkle the bamboo charcoal into the soil. The bamboo charcoal can be recycled back into the soil to promote plant growth. This completes its life cycle as a product that comes from the earth and ultimately gives back to the earth.
