Laminated Bamboo as An Effort to Reduce Wood Consumption

Keywords

Bamboo, laminated

Abstract

As one of Indonesia’s biological resources, bamboo has been a multifunctional type of vegetation. It can be used as material for building construction and for traditional craft that has been supporting the villagers’ financial condition. However, due to the development of material technology, bamboo has been left out and replaced by other materials such as concrete, plastic and other composite products which have ecological impact. With lamination technology, bamboo can be considered as ‘the future wood’ because of its physical potency and its fascinating growth speed. Thus, it can be an alternative substitute for wood because wood has become more and more scarce. However, the effort to reduce wood consumption by using laminated-bamboo based material has not been successful due to the limited socialization on the development of laminated-bamboo-based products. It can be seen from the common use of wood which is still the most preferred material for construction and furniture. This research explored the efforts for producing laminated bamboo based products especially for furniture and architectural aesthetic element that can be used by the community. It was followed by socialization for increasing the community’s awareness on the importance of reducing wood consumption.
