The importance of a vision

[staBOO] is an ingredient brand: its value is enhanced by its capacity to be integrated in existing products, designs and systems, creating high value-added new solutions.

Different inside is more than just a creative definition: it is a pledge. It describes everything from the origins of the materials to the way value is created all along the production chain.

We choose
to be different

Rather than changing an existing system, we have created a new one.
We are naturally
different

We saw what a smart solution bamboo had to offer and we developed a lighter, stronger, more responsible industrial system.
Our impact
is different

We have a short, regenerative production chain, with low emissions and high social value.
Our method
is different

With every choice, we strive to improve. With every step, we seek to innovate.
Our purpose
is different

We have transformed a real need into a system that creates value, opens up possibilities, multiplies impacts and makes the future possible.
Our approach
is different

Respect. Listening. A constant presence. You can always count on us. Being different means really being there.

Why now?

Consumers are demanding innovative, new materials that are healthy and non-polluting. They want solutions that have a positive impact on people and the environment, while also meeting increasingly exacting criteria in terms of quality and responsibility. At the same time, we are witnessing significant industrial transition: stricter environmental standards, decarbonization incentives and market pressure are leading to the use of certified, more sustainable materials. In response, [staBOO] provides a solution with more to offer: a tested, certified system that anticipates market needs and takes on the challenges presented by global competition and the green transition.
