Anji Mountain Bamboo Rugs - The Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co. is a premier source of bamboo and natural rugs. A family owned business since 2003, the company is founded on the idea that only natural resources will be tolerated. Bamboo is an incredible resource and fits perfectly with the Anji Mountain business model. Bamboo can be harvested in anywhere from 1 to 5 years depending on the species. Hardwoods like oak can take up to 40 years to mature before they are ready for harvesting. Believe it or not some species can grow up to 3 feet per day! With almost one-million acres of forest lost each week, using bamboo as a substitute can drastically reduce that figure. It can replace virtually any wood application including flooring, furniture and other various building materials. Not only is it stronger than wood, it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere. Many people associate bamboo with the Giant Panda as it makes up 99% of their diet. Rest assured that Pandas do not eat the species of bamboo used in these area rugs. All in all, bamboo is truly a remarkable resource and the versatility available throughout this collection will exceed all of your decorating needs.
