Bamboo is also widely used for structural weaving and bamboo silver can also be bent, sliced and colored. To ensure the durability of bamboo, the bamboo needs to undergo treatment. Most Indian villages engage in the bamboo craft for their livelihood. Hence, bamboo is considered sustainable and eco-friendly in interior spaces.
