Traditional wicker is from plants such as bamboo, rattan and seagrass. Bamboo is actually a grass and grows 3 times faster than traditional lumber sources. People  harvest a high yield from them after 3 to 7 years, and a single stand produces 200 poles for 5 years. This means that it is harvested in a sustainable way. Growing bamboo is good for the Earth on its own. They soak up carbon quickly and produce more oxygen than trees. The plant can prevent soil erosion as well. Additionally, bamboo requires little water to grow, and is practically grown pesticide-free. Growing it is a triple win for the environment, taking little and returning a lot. Rattan is the name for 600 hundreds types of vines from Asia. Rattan can be harvested sustainably, and it reduces the stress on forests.
Making Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Storage Baskets
Seagrasses are a group of flowering plants that grow under water. People grow them in flooded fields. They grow fast and people harvest them in a sustainable way easily. They perform important work in taking carbon out of the air. A square kilometre of seagrass can pull 83,000 metric tons of carbon out of the air and store it in soil beneath them.

Making baskets with bamboo, rattan and other sustainable materials lowers the products ecological footprint, meaning that you use less of the Earth’s resources. Plus, this encourages people to grow these plants improves the environment.

So having these sturdy sustainable, eco-friendly baskets in your home is not only good for you but amazing to our planet and environment.
