Eco Material 12


When thinking about using coconut and bamboo as a it would have to imported, i decided to looking companies that use this material to fully understand where they get there material from. To see if this would challenge my initial thoughts of where the material comes from


coconut 
      eco palm - wooden flooring 

manufactured from the species Cocusc Nucifera which is abundant in carefully controlled plantations mainly in Asia.



bamboo
       bamboo home -

The bamboo species we use is called Moso and grows in the low mountain areas of eastern China and is exposed to extreme temperature changes making it naturally very durable


both material grow in asia this would mean larger emissions in transporting the products - this would not suite the brief so I will be looking back at my list of woods and then seeing what materials  who be the most suitible which can be sourced from the UK
