Bamboo under discussion - join this important summit taking place in three Australian cities!

Global GreenTag International is proud to announce its partnership with the Bamboo Society of Australia (BSA) as a sponsor of the upcoming "Next Frontier Summit"—a pivotal three-city event series dedicated to advancing structural engineered bamboo as a renewable, high-performance building material in Australia.

Taking place from June 18 to 20 in the Sunshine Coast, Sydney, and Melbourne, the Summit will bring together global pioneers, local innovators, and key stakeholders to explore bamboo's potential in addressing Australia's construction, land restoration, and climate challenges.

"Bamboo is no longer a novelty—it's a serious answer to three national challenges: carbon, supply, and climate resilience," said Jennifer Snyders, President of the Bamboo Society of Australia.

Global GreenTag International, renowned for its rigorous product certification, declaration and ecolabelling programs, supports this initiative by providing trusted sustainability assessments that empower professionals and consumers to make informed choices. GreenTag's product assessment programs are widely recognised by leading global green, healthy and ethical building programs, such as Green Star®, WELL™, and LEED®.

"Our collaboration with the Bamboo Society of Australia underscores our commitment to promoting sustainable, high-performance materials," said David Baggs, CEO, Technical Director and Cofounder of Global GreenTag International. "Engineered bamboo offers a viable solution to the pressing need for renewable building materials, and we're excited to support its growth in the Australian market."

The Summit will feature over 20 speakers, including renowned structural engineer Neil Thomas MBE and Professor Yan Xiao, who will share insights on bamboo's structural capabilities and its role in sustainable architecture. Discussions will inform the development of Australia's 10-Year Bamboo Roadmap, set to launch on World Bamboo Day, September 18, 2025.
