Schiedam, ZH tests environmental and financial benefits of traffic signs made from bamboo

Schiedam, ZH Bamboo Traffic Signs Environmental Benefits

Council members approved a one-year pilot of bamboo signs at select intersections on Bosboomlaan. Schiedam will evaluate sign durability and maintenance needs during the pilot. The bamboo plates used in this trial are estimated to last almost twice as long as conventional signs. Replacing metal with bamboo creates passive carbon dioxide collectors that improve air quality. End-of-life plate recycling produces chipboard and biomass for sustainable energy.
