About Bamboo

 

Bamboo is a grass that regenerates naturally (like a weed) and can be grown without the use of pesticides.   It can be harvested in just 3 to 5 years & does not require replanting due to its extensive root system.   The bamboo plant is 100% biodegradable, does not require heavy soil tilling or excessive water consumption.  The natural environment is essentially left undisturbed.  Bamboo effectively cleans the air by removing carbon & returning oxygen.    

Our products are manufactured with bamboo and classified as "rayon from bamboo' or "viscose from bamboo".   Rayon/viscose refers to the process of "pulping" a material before making it in to a fibre.  Rayon can also be made from other material such as beech wood and cotton byproducts.  We choose to sell only products made with rayon/viscose from bamboo.  Rayon/viscose from bamboo clothing exhibit characteristics that are commonly described as ultra soft & breathable.  Anecdotally bamboo clothing also repels odours & wicks moisture.
