A May milestone for bamboo
House of Bamboo’s debut arrives with three product‑family EPDs published in May 2026: Laminated Bamboo, Strand Woven Bamboo, and Structural Glued Bamboo. The declarations are broad families rather than single SKUs, covering use cases from flooring and decking to cladding, ceiling panels, beams and furniture. The program operator is the International EPD System, with Miljögiraff AB listed as the LCA developer.
Why this matters in specs
EPDs turn bamboo from “promising” to project‑ready by replacing assumptions with verified numbers. On projects that require product‑specific EPDs, teams avoid conservative default factors that can push materials out of scope on carbon targets. Translation: with a comparable, verified declaration, bamboo gets evaluated on performance and design rather than ruled out on paperwork alone.
The product coverage at a glance
- Laminated Bamboo covers panels, beams and interior finishes for joinery and fit‑out.
- Strand Woven Bamboo targets high‑durability surfaces for floors, decking and panels.
- Structural Glued Bamboo addresses engineered profiles suitable for visible structure and sub‑frames.
That portfolio gives specifiers one consistent story across interior and exterior applications, from batten screens and cladding to platforms and beam profiles.

Competitive context in one screen
- MOSO International holds current bamboo EPDs for decking, cladding and beams through 2027, a known reference point for European and export projects.
- GREEZU entered earlier with structural glued bamboo, also via the International EPD System, so structural use now has multiple brand options.
- Dasso’s strand‑woven bamboo EPD reached its end date in April 2025, which means comparable coverage may not be current today.
Net result for bids that mandate current, product‑specific EPDs: House of Bamboo has caught the leaders in core categories and gains an edge wherever competitor coverage has lapsed.
Findability check
House of Bamboo already lists an EPD reference on its Sustainability page, including Laminated Bamboo. The other new declarations are not yet obvious there. Centralizing all three PDFs and their operator links on a single sustainability or technical resources page will help specifiers pull documents in seconds.

Timing tip for first‑timers
These EPDs published in May 2026. Today is June 1, 2026, which is just over two weeks later. Many teams see a delay of weeks to months between operator publication and appearance in global directories that specifiers use. Reducing that lag matters because every extra week leaves projects defaulting to generic factors.

What to do next
- Add the three EPD PDFs and operator record links to website technical pages and product subpages.
- Update data sheets and spec guides to reference the product‑family EPD names exactly as published.
- Brief sales and design partners so they know which applications each declaration covers.
House of Bamboo just moved from “nice bamboo story” to “numbers on the page.” That is how materials win more often in modern specs.
