Bamboo fabric and it's eco-friendly benefits - page

Bamboo, better for nature and you

Bamboo is a remarkable material to use for both clothing and textiles. This is due to its unique properties and eco-friendly nature both as a plant and as the bamboo fiber used to make bamboo fabric.

This remarkable plant is one of the fastest-growing and most renewable resources on the planet, thriving with minimal water and requiring no pesticides. Its natural properties make it an ideal choice for sustainable fashion— bamboo fabric is both soft, breathable, durable and kind to both your skin and the environment.

Both aspects together make bamboo an excellent eco-friendly choice for those who are conscious about reducing their carbon footprint whilst not compromising on quality and durability. As well, it is a commitment to a more sustainable fashion.

Hence, going for bamboo is a contribution to a greener and healthier choice for body and mind.

    Renowned for its rapid growth and sustainability, as a regenerative resource, bamboo is one of the most sustainable materials available in nature and thrives in it's natural habitat, the tropical rainforest. Some standout features include:

    • Self-regenerative, fast growing & renewable
    • Lower environmental impact
    • Carbon absorbtion

    Surprisingly from such a strong tree as bamboo, bamboo fabric is incredibly versatile. Most notable about bamboo fabric is its softness, breathability, antibacterial properties, durability, and eco-friendliness.

    • super soft, making it perfect for everyday wear
    • Exceptional breathability, allowing excellent ventilation
    • Naturally hypoallergenic, perfect for sensitive skin

Bamboo benefit #1

Incredibly soft

Step into a World of Unrivaled Comfort and Elegance with Bamboo Fabric Creations.

Bamboo benefit #2

Breathability

Another great benefit of Bamboo is that it is highly breathable combined with superior absorbency. This is because the natural structure of bamboo fibers are naturally porous, allowing them to absorb moisture more efficiently. This allows for excellent moisture absorption and ventilation, hence resulting in less sweating and fresher clothes.

Bamboo benefit #3

Antibacterial and hypoallergnic

Another impressive feature of bamboo fiber are its hypoallergenic and potential anti-bacterial properties.

Especially for people with sensitive skin, wearing bamboo can be a perfect lifestyle alternative are gentle on sensitive skin and less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to synthetic materials. Bamboo fabrics, like bamboo viscose, are also resistant to dust mites and mold, making them a great choice for people with allergies or skin sensitivities

That is because bamboo trees contain a natural antimicrobial agent called "bamboo kun," which helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. This makes bamboo products resistant to body odour and allergens, making them suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies.

Bamboo benefit #4

Durability

Bamboo fiber is also known for its durability, strength and retaining shape. Despite its soft and delicate feel, bamboo fabric is surprisingly strong and long-lasting. It can withstand regular use and washing without losing its shape or quality. This makes bamboo products also a more sustainable choice, as they can be enjoyed for a long time, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Bamboo benefit #5

Eco-friendly & sustainable

Naturally, bamboo is a very environmentally friendly resource due to its rapid growth and benefits for nature. As Bamboo grows naturally also can absorb 2x more carbon dioxide and release 35% more oxygen than trees. This all whilst requiring minimal water and not requiring any pesticides or fertalizers. Bamboo is also great against soil degradation and can grow on already degraded land.

As in any production process, it is important how the processing of bamboo from tree to fabric takes place. As long as bamboo fabric is processed in a closed-loop environment, this would prevent any chemical wastage and minimizing potential leakage or waste.

Both 100% bamboo and cotton are biodegradable will naturally decompose under the right conditions.

Are there negative side(effects) of bamboo?

Alongside global climate change and charges of unethical production practices, the textile and fashion industry is regarded as one of the most polluting industries in the world. As such, bamboo fabric production has faced criticism for its use of harsh chemicals, which can harm the environment and workers if not managed properly. Whilst true that chemicals are used during processing and dying of bamboo fabric, some claims against bamboo may stem from lobbying or competitors’ marketing. Alike any fabric used for the fashion industry, chemical processing is required to turn fibre into fabric. As with any production process, it depends on how the production practices of a company are being caried out and if it is done in a sustainable or unsustainable way and if production is done in a closed-loop environment to minimize waste and environmental impact.

 

Like other fabrics, bamboo production needs to address ethical and sustainable practices and avoid risks of greenwashing. The rise of global awareness about climate change and
corporate responsibility has pushed brands to adopt more transparent and
sustainable processes. Certifications like GOTS and OEKO-TEX are essential
here, as they ensure rigorous testing and adherence to ethical and eco-friendly
standards. They also confirm that chemicals used are properly managed,
preventing harm to the environment.

End of the day, there is still work to be done to make bamboo even more sustainable than it already is. But bamboo will get there sooner than others.
