Building a Sustainable Future with Bamboo in Kenya

At We Do Bamboo, sustainability drives every aspect of our business — from sourcing bamboo directly from local farmers to eco-friendly production processes. We're committed to developing innovative bamboo building solutions tailored specifically for Kenya and East Africa, protecting the environment, and empowering communities for a greener, more sustainable future.

Our Sustainability Commitment

Sustainable Bamboo for Kenya’s Future:

Reducing Environmental Impact

We source bamboo sustainably from local Kenyan farmers, offering eco-friendly alternatives to traditional construction materials like timber, concrete, and steel. Bamboo naturally absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide and releases 35% more oxygen than most trees, significantly reducing environmental footprints in construction projects throughout Kenya and East Africa.

Advancing Circular Economy Practices

At We Do Bamboo, nothing goes to waste. Our production model maximizes efficiency by utilizing the entire bamboo plant. Offcuts and bamboo residues are recycled into secondary products, contributing directly to a greener, circular economy in Kenya.

Empowering Kenyan Communities

We partner directly with smallholder bamboo farmers across Kenya, providing training, fair pricing, and stable income opportunities. This collaboration promotes sustainable agricultural practices, boosts local economies, and contributes to community development.

Sustainability in Action

At We Do Bamboo, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond words — we actively put our values into practice. We prioritize partnerships with Kenyan farmers dedicated to environmentally friendly cultivation methods, ensuring responsible and sustainable bamboo sourcing. Our production facilities utilize renewable energy sources and advanced technology to significantly reduce emissions and maintain energy-efficient manufacturing processes. Additionally, through community-led reforestation initiatives, we plant bamboo to rehabilitate degraded land, restore ecosystems, and support local livelihoods across Kenya and East Africa.

Why Bamboo Is the Future

Fast Regeneration

Bamboo grows exceptionally fast—up to 35 inches (90 cm) per day—making it one of the world's most rapidly renewable building materials, perfectly suited for sustainable projects across Kenya and East Africa

Superior Strength

Our bamboo offers exceptional tensile strength, exceeding that of steel, providing a durable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials for sustainable construction in Kenya

Powerful Carbon Sequestration

Each hectare of bamboo can absorb up to 12 metric tons of CO₂ annually, significantly contributing to carbon reduction and climate change mitigation efforts across Kenya and East Africa.

Our Commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

At We Do Bamboo, we are dedicated to creating a lasting positive impact for generations to come. Our mission aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a universal call to action for sustainable development by 2030. By integrating sustainability into every aspect of our operations, we actively contribute to the following SDGs: Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth We empower local farmers and workers by creating fair trade opportunities and fostering economic growth in Kenya and South Africa. Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure Through cutting-edge bamboo processing technology, we drive innovation and establish sustainable industrial practices. Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production Our production process minimizes waste, promotes efficient resource use, and supports a circular economy. Goal 13: Climate Action Bamboo absorbs significant amounts of CO2, making it a natural solution for combating climate change and reducing carbon footprints. Goal 15: Life on Land By promoting bamboo cultivation, we combat deforestation, restore degraded land, and preserve biodiversity. Our commitment to these goals reflects our belief in a future where businesses not only thrive but also contribute meaningfully to people and the planet.
