Aren't "fabric" and "textiles" much the same thing?
Wait. If the question was about what bamboo is NOT used for, and the answer is "e", does that mean bamboo is not used for some of the other possibilities. I'm nitpicking. Sorry.
I would like to see bamboo replace hardwood in all it's applications. It is possible. Using bamboo not only increases employment in the rural areas, It purifies the air, Provides a viable alternate building material and above all the most important thing is it is fast growing, eco freindly ideal for many applications, well I could go on. No wonder it is called wonder grass.
We use rapidly renewable bamboo material to build a full line of bamboo retail display fixture and building material ike engineered bamboo lumber, gridwall, slatwall, a full line of products to replace hardwood.
