Bamboo Fabric - A New-Old Technology

Bamboo has 1000's of uses and its application as a textile fiber is just emerging.

Although Bamboo is known since a long time in Asia for its many unique applications, the idea of using bamboo to spin yarn is a much more recent technology. Interest in bamboo has steadily grown as more and more information becomes available concerning its inherent characteristics.

It benefits the environment not only in growing the plant (excellent carbon dioxide and nitrogen sink and produces copious oxygen), but also in its processing since it is a closed system with non toxic chemicals that will, hopefully, lessen the demand for higher polluting material.

Bamboo fabric is true organic and sustainable and replies to different criterion of the eco-efficiency factor that are:

  • Renewability
  • Sustainability Harvest Practices
  • Low impact cultivation
  • Use of pesticides and fertilizer
  • Reduced Footprint
  • Just not any Bamboo

By choosing bamboo clothing, you not only benefit a true organic and sustainable product that will protect your health, but you also actively contribute to the reduction of pollution on the planet and on the improvement of ecology.
