Company Overview:
Environmental awareness is at an all time high and about time too.
Harder than oak and more stable than maple, bamboo is fast becoming a tree's new best friend. When the world is fighting against the global warming challenge, Bamboo has the added cachet of being environmentally friendly. A 60-foot-tall bamboo cut for market takes 59 days to replace while a 60-foot tree takes 60 years, according to the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan.
Bamboo has a higher tensile strength than many alloys of steel, and a higher compressive strength than many mixtures of concrete. It even has a higher strength to weight ratio than graphite. Due to their strength and resilience, bamboo made structures have even withstood 9.0 magnitude earthquakes.
It is believed that if bamboo were planted on a mass basis it could completely reverse the effects of global warming in just 6 years, and provide a renewable source of food, building material, and erosion prevention.
Water Hyacinth, also known as Pani-Meteka or Meteka in Assamese, is a common sight for the people. This aquatic plant was considered a waste and a bit of a nuisance as it has a propensity to spread at an alarming rate in water bodies and cause stilting. For years it was either cleared up or left unused. This long neglected plant is on its way to become a economic blessing as a booming industry in Assam as it has also been found to be high quality manure for agriculture.
Hardstem Tule, also known as Bulrush, grows in wetlands or areas of seasonal flooding. The interior of each long tule stem is filled with spongy tissue packed with air cells. Tule stems are treated and then stored in coils to dry, then woven into coiled baskets. Only about the thickness of a toothpick, the split tule stems are both flexible and strong.
Assam is rich in all these amazing resources. It has a vibrant heritage of arts and crafts made of bamboo. Under the brand of Kraftinn, skilled, traditional artisans give flight to their imagination under the supervision of expert designers. Kraftinn products are distinctive for they are and innovative rendering of Assam's deepest traditions.
