Sustainable & Ecological Bicycle Parking with the Bambooh Bicycle Staple

Lo Minck Mobility's Bambooh Bicycle Staple is the sustainable solution for eco-friendly bicycle parking. This innovative bicycle staple is made from the fast-growing and extremely eco-friendly giant bamboo species "Moso," a material known for its exceptional CO₂ absorption capacity and oxygen production.

 

Made of sustainable Moso Bamboo

Moso bamboo is one of the most sustainable natural materials in the world. This giant bamboo species grows extremely fast and is widely available, with about 7 million hectares of sustainably managed plantations. A unique feature of Moso bamboo is that the plant produces multiple stems, which can be harvested annually without the mother plant dying. This makes the Bambooh Bicycle Staple not only a sustainable choice, but also an environmentally responsible solution.

 

Produced with strict environmental standards

Bambooh Bicycle Staples are produced in fully ISO-9001 certified facilities. Here, extra eco-friendly adhesives without added formaldehyde are used, ensuring the bicycle staple meets the strictest emission standards, such as the EO standard (EU standard = E1). This ensures minimal environmental impact during production.

 

Long-term sustainability and recycling

Moso bamboo's excellent properties, such as hardness, density and stability, ensure that the Bambooh Bicycle Staple has an exceptionally long lifespan. This means the material retains CO₂ for a long time and optimally contributes to a sustainable living environment. With proper maintenance, the bicycle staples can be reused in similar applications (upcycling) or processed into chipboard (downcycling). If reuse is not possible, the bamboo material can be used for bioenergy production, an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Bambooh X-treme

  • The Bambooh X-treme bicycle staple is made of MOSO® Bamboo X-treme®; a material made of bamboo that is superior to the best tropical hardwoods in terms of hardness, stability, fire safety and durability.
  • Thanks to a unique patented process (ThermoDensity® treatment), the density of the bamboo is increased by pressing bamboo fibres under very high pressure and the stability and durability is improved to a very high level by a special thermal treatment at 200⁰C.
  • The ThermoDensity® treatment greatly increases its density - and thus its hardness - making it stronger and harder than any other hardwood.
  • As the only bamboo product on the market, X-treme® has the use/risk class 4, which means it can be used - without additional treatment - for long periods in direct contact with (fresh) water and/or direct ground contact.
  • Achieves a high fire safety rating without impregnation with expensive and environmentally polluting flame retardants. This allows MOSO® Bamboo X-treme® to be used in public projects without additional measures.

Frequently asked questions about Bambooh Bicycle Staples

What makes the Bambooh Bicycle Staple unique?

Bambooh X-treme stands out for its use of Moso bamboo, an eco-friendly material that grows quickly, absorbs a lot of CO₂ and is sustainably managed.

How colourfast is Bambooh X-treme?

The bamboo used for Bamboo X-treme is heated at a high temperature (approx. 200 °C), which caramelises and neutralises the sugars in the bamboo. This caramelisation gives Bamboo X-treme its unique colour. Because the entire beam caramelises, not just the outside, minor damage to the bamboo, e.g. from parking bicycles, is hardly visible.

Does the Bambooh bicycle staple discolour?

If Bambooh X-treme is placed in an outdoor location, the deep brown colour of the bamboo gradually ages. This is a natural process. To counteract this, it is possible to coat the bamboo with e.g. a lacquer layer. Actually, we do not recommend this, as this natural greying makes the product unique, in addition to its durable character.

Is Bambooh X-treme suitable for electric bikes?

Yes, Bambooh X-treme is sturdy enough for parking electric bikes as well as bikes with wide tyres.

How is Moso bamboo processed into a bicycle staple?

The bicycle staples are produced in certified facilities, using eco-friendly adhesives that meet strict emission standards. The bamboo beams are transformed into bicycle staples at Lo Minck Mobility.

Is Bambooh X-treme eco-friendly to recycle?

Absolutely. At end-of-life, the bamboo material can be reused, processed into chipboard or used for bioenergy.

How does Bambooh X-treme contribute to a sustainable environment?

In addition to its sustainable production, Moso bamboo helps retain CO₂ for a long time, helping to reduce its carbon footprint

Is Bambooh X-treme resistant to vandalism?

Yes, thanks to Moso bamboo's robust properties and sturdy construction, the bicycle staples can withstand intensive use and vandalism. Bamboo X-treme, like tropsic hardwood, is very hard, so the beam is not easy to saw through.

Is Bambooh X-treme suitable for indoor and outdoor locations?

Yes, Bambooh X-treme is suitable for placement in both indoor and outdoor locations and can withstand extreme weather conditions.

How does Moso bamboo contribute to biodiversity?

Moso bamboo grows on sustainably managed plantations and contributes to the conservation of natural ecosystems without harming biodiversity.
