This is then stored in the bamboo for the rest of its life and, thus, in the MOSO® Bamboo X-treme® deck used in a project. This is not the case when looking at other non-natural decking alternatives. Not only the carbon storage, but the resource itself aids the sustainable aspects of Bamboo X-treme® Decking.
