Bamboo
Environmental Benefits – Sustainable and Renewable

Bamboo is known as the fastest growing tree-like plant in the world, with some species growing 1 to 4 feet per day. With such a rapid rate of growth, along with the vertical biomass created, bamboo delivers more usable raw material per acre than any other alternative, making it the most renewable resource on the Earth. In addition, bamboo absorbs 35% more carbon dioxide than an equivalent stand of trees while emitting greater volumes of oxygen. Featuring a complex root system, bamboo plants are an ideal choice for planting in high erosion areas as well as areas that have suffered soil degradation and deforestation. Bamboo can also survive through such conditions as drought or flooding.

Bamboo is naturally disease and pest-resistant, enabling the growth to be done completely organic and without the use of pesticides or other chemicals. When a plant is cut for harvesting it will continue to re-grow for yearly harvest without needing to be replanted. The fabric is created from bamboo pulp, which is bleached without the use of chlorine. Bamboo fabric is easy to dye and is done so without using any chemicals while incorporating methods that use less water than conventional dyeing procedures.

Performance Benefits – Regulating Comfort

The very first thing you will realize is how extremely soft bamboo really is. Bamboo fabric has a texture closer to silk or cashmere because of the smooth and round nature of the fibers that contain no sharp spurs that normally irritate skin. The properties found in these fibers also contribute to benefit that bamboo is hypoallergenic and is a superb alternative for anyone with skin sensitivities or other allergies.

The bamboo fibers also contain micro-gaps which provide excellent ventilation which regulates temperature both in the summer and winter seasons. Due to porous nature of the fabric, bamboo absorbs moisture three to four times faster than cotton, while evaporating water and perspiration half as fast as cotton; all keeping you dry and odor-free.
