Bamboo Fabric
Why Use Bamboo?
- No pesticides, insecticides or fertilisers are used in the growing
- Uses only rainwater to grow compared to cotton which uses up to 2700 litres of water for a single T-shirt
- Doesn't need vast lands to grow as it can grow very densely
- Produces 30% more oxygen & absorbs more carbon dioxide than trees
- Grows up to a metre a day with some species growing up to 30m tall
- New stems can be harvested again and again making bamboo one of the most sustainable raw materials in the world
Bamboo Fibre
Our bamboo fabric is made using a closed-loop process that’s designed to be both efficient and environmentally conscious. In this process, the bamboo pulp is broken down using a non-toxic solvent to extract the cellulose, which is then spun into soft, breathable fibres. The water and solvent used are filtered and reused, helping to reduce waste and environmental impact.
The solvent used in our fabric production is approved for use under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and by the Soil Association. It’s also commonly used in everyday products like soap and food. Importantly, this solvent is not retained in the finished fabric, as it is thoroughly washed out during production.
We only source our bamboo fabrics from suppliers that can provide organic certifications for the growing of the raw bamboo and OEKO-TEX 100 certifications which proves that no harmful chemicals were used throughout the various stages of the process and no harmful chemicals are present at all on the final product.
Bamboo Fabric
- Contains an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal bio-agent which is retained through the fabrication process and even after washing many, many times. This property makes all our products odour-resistant
- Extremely hypo-allergenic which is great for eczema sufferers and those with sensitive skin
- Feels great as it is a very soft fabric and very gentle on the skin
- Has a neutral charge which makes it anti-static, so no more clinging clothes
