Why Bamboo?
Protective
Unlike other anti-microbial fabrics, which require a chemical treatment;
bamboo fabric is naturally anti-microbial and requires no harmful
chemicals. It contains an agent, "bamboo kun", that prevents bacteria
from cultivating on it.
Eco-friendly
Cloth made from bamboo fiber is 100% natural and made through a
high-tech process without the addition of any chemical additives.
Consequently, it can be 100% biodegraded and will be naturally broken
down in soil by microorganisms and sunshine.
Did you know…
Bamboo is one of the world's most prolific and fastest-growing plants,
and is able to reach maturity in about four years, compared to the
typical 25 to 70 years for most commercial tree species. Though
most people are generally familiar with this beautiful and graceful
plant, the average person is usually astounded to learning that
there are more than 1000 documented uses of bamboo. Bamboo is planted
and grown on farms that have been in agricultural use for generations.
The kind of bamboo used for fabrics and wood products is not the
same kind of bamboo eaten by panda bears and none of the fibre comes
from tropical forests.
