KAWAYAN COLLECTIVE
Founded in 2019, Kawayan Collective specializes in bamboo treatment and collection. It partners with private individuals through engagement with contracted farmers in planting and harvesting bamboos. Each bamboo pole undergoes the BASE’s nine-step process to ensure construction-grade quality.
With its bamboo waste treatment, the facility developed additional products including panels from cracked poles, furniture and home goods, and composite bamboo tiles from sawdust.

KANYA KAWAYAN
Established in 2019, Kanya Kawayan produces “tad-tad” or flattened bamboo poles apart from its treated poles. The flattened bamboos, which are developed from cutting treated poles into strips are being used for doors and other structural features of the house, which makes the structure more environmentally friendly.
It also produces planters for gardening and firewood for the communities using rejected bamboo to minimize bamboo waste production.
