Why choose bamboo fibers?

Bamboo makes a versatile natural fiber that has many qualities prized especially by the textiles industry – including softness, breathability and antimicrobial properties. Since it's highly renewable it's also very eco-friendly.

It cleans the air.
Bamboo consumes large amounts of carbon dioxide and, because bamboo forests are so dense it returns 30% more oxygen to the atmosphere than trees. Some bamboo sequester up to 12 tons of carbon dioxide from the air per hectare.

Requires less energy and water to grow.
Bamboo plantations require very little maintenance. Bamboo also requires very little water and can survive drought conditions as well as flooding. Bamboo textiles also dry in about half the time as cotton clothing which uses much less energy.

Reclaims land.
Because of its rapid growth and root structure, bamboo can in a very short time, reclaim land destroyed by overgrazing and over-building and clean the soil of toxins.

No pesticides.
Bamboo can be grown without pesticides or chemicals because of it's own anti-bacterial agent.

Harvested sustainably.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet. Some species grow 3-4 feet per day making it a high yield renewable resource. It can be selectively harvested annually and is capable of complete regeneration without need to replant.

100% biodegradable.
Unlike synthetic fibers which incorporate petroleum additives, bamboo textiles are safe for municipal disposal programs, whether by landfill or incineration.
