I remember Technics used to advertise with amplifiers that used bamboo somewhere in the capacitors? Always wondered if there was actual bamboo in there somewhere and what the electrical effects were...

they use bamboo in the production of special carbons used in capacitors in a lot of devices.

it's sustainable, apparently. I don't know anything about it really.
