Manila FAME 2018 Puts the Spotlight on the Bamboo Padyak
“Bamboo may very well be one of the ways we can heed the government’s challenge to ‘transform’ the industry for the better. We’re optimistic about it since studies have shown that it can reduce carbon emissions, prevent erosion, and even restore denuded lands,” said Philippine Nickel Industry Association President Dante R. Bravo in a press statement. Considering the plant’s sustainable nature, the bamboo industry would also create more opportunities for local communities to thrive economically.
