A great advantage of rattan is the flexibility of the material, which allows for it to be woven and shaped around frames of varying shapes and sizes. It creates a very strong weave that does not easily tear or unravel, especially when properly treated and coated.
They are very similar to bamboo, but rattan is easy to decompose. The difference with bamboo is that they are dense, not hollow
like bamboo, in addition to grow well, rattan needs a lot of care from humans (but it is also very easy to live in wild conditions), while bamboo may not need this. This makes it a potential tool in forest protection, as it offers some benefits and profits rather than the tree species that need to be removed.
