Bamboo products gain popularity with growing environmental awareness in China

Since implementing plastic restrictions in 2008, China has successively issued a series of related policies for preventing and controlling plastic pollution. As a fast-growing and biodegradable material, bamboo has become an important substitute for plastic in recent years, with bamboo products becoming choices for increasingly more consumers.
