The SIM-PAC Live Sustainability Awards are one of the Asia–Pacific region’s leading platforms for recognising innovation in sustainable manufacturing, circular design and low-carbon materials.

Held annually, SIM-PAC brings together industry leaders in construction, engineering, product development and materials science to highlight solutions that advance net-zero goals and deliver real-world environmental impact.

With 23 award categories, including Lifecycle Design, Circular Manufacturing, Low Carbon Innovation and Sustainable Materials, the awards celebrate measurable progress toward regenerative, future-ready industry practices.

This year, House of Bamboo® was nominated for the first time and recognised in the Lifecycle Design category with a Judge Commendation Award, acknowledging our leadership in engineered bamboo and circular material systems.

House of Bamboo® Honoured for Lifecycle Design Innovation

House of Bamboo® is proud to receive the Judge Commendation Award in the 2025 SIM-PAC Sustainability Awards.

The award was accepted for our team by CEO Jennifer Snyders, whose leadership continues to guide our progress in circular material innovation.

This recognition reflects our long-standing commitment to:

• circular design.

• environmentally responsible production.

• engineered bamboo systems that support durable, low-carbon construction across Australia.

“This award reflects our belief that sustainable materials must perform, endure, and inspire. Engineered bamboo enables architects and designers to build responsibly without compromising beauty or technical excellence.” — Jennifer Snyders

Why Engineered Bamboo is Leading Lifecycle-Led Design

Modern architecture requires materials that perform across the entire lifecycle from responsible sourcing to efficient installation, maintenance, reuse, and end-of-life recovery. Engineered bamboo uniquely meets these criteria.

Here are the core reasons bamboo is becoming a preferred choice for lifecycle-driven projects:

Circularity at Every Stage

Engineered bamboo supports a full circular design framework through:

• Renewable raw material with rapid regrowth.

• Low-carbon production processes.

• Design-for-disassembly systems that support reuse.

• Modular components adaptable to multiple applications.

• Reduced waste across manufacturing and installation.

This systems-based approach ensures bamboo contributes to regenerative outcomes, not just reduced environmental impact.

Engineered Performance That Rivals High-Carbon Materials

Engineered bamboo is produced through precision layering and lamination techniques, offering:

• High structural strength.

• Dimensional stability in variable climates.

• Resistance to movement, warping and cupping.

• Consistent manufacturing and quality control.

• FSC-certified supply chain assurance.

For architects and designers who need performance without environmental compromise, engineered bamboo stands out as a reliable, future-ready choice.

Real-World Impact Across Architectural Sectors

Engineered bamboo is already delivering measurable environmental and aesthetic benefits across:

Façade systems

Modular screens, shading structures, and high-performance external cladding.

Interior architecture

Ceilings, walls, acoustic elements and feature joinery.

Landscapes and outdoor structures

Screening, fencing, decks, pergolas, and shade systems.

Modular and prefabricated design

Kit-of-parts solutions that support adaptive and reusable architecture.

These applications demonstrate that bamboo is not only a material alternative, but a design tool enabling elegant, low-carbon outcomes across diverse project typologies.

A Recognition of Innovation and Leadership

The Judge Commendation Award reflects the dedication of our team led by CEO Jennifer Snyders to advancing renewable material systems in Australia.

Our work integrates:

• Collaborative design with architects and engineers.

• Early-stage technical guidance.

• Feasibility, detailing and material optimisation.

• Efficient prefabrication and modular installation.

• Sustainability metrics and lifecycle reporting.

This award reinforces the role engineered bamboo can play in shaping the built environment of the future.

Explore Applications, Technical Data & Project Examples

For architects, designers and specifiers looking to integrate bamboo into upcoming projects, House of Bamboo® offers a complete ecosystem of resources:

• Application library featuring façade, interior and landscape uses.

• Technical documents for product performance and compliance.

• Case studies with lifecycle-driven design examples.

• Specification guidance for engineered bamboo systems.

• Samples and custom solutions for project teams.

A Smarter Material for a Low-Carbon Future

As Australia moves toward regenerative and circular construction models, engineered bamboo is emerging as a practical, scalable and beautiful solution.

The SIM-PAC award serves not only as recognition, but as a signal that renewable alternatives are ready to step into mainstream architectural practice.
