You know that trees are good for the environment, bamboo is even better.
We use bamboo because it’s the planet’s fastest growing crop. You know that trees are good for the environment, bamboo is even better. Bamboo absorbs five times more carbon than hardwood trees and because it stores carbon in the plant and roots it is able to regenerate soil health. It’s simply one of the best crops you can use if you want to protect the planet.
It needs no irrigation and no pesticides
Bamboo is a lower impact crop than cotton or hardwood tress because it needs little to no irrigation or pesticides and it releases 35% more oxygen. It grows rapidly so it needs less land and it can be harvested without damaging root systems and surrounding habitats.
You might fall in love with bamboo as a garment fabric.
Bamboo viscose is the fibre (known as MMCF or Man Made Cellulosic Fibre) made from bamboo. Unlike fossil fuel-base synthetics, it’s made from natural, renewable raw materials and is biodegradable. Bamboo viscose has a lower carbon footprint than conventional viscose, cotton and polyester.
Bamboo helps you reduce your laundry and your footprint
With synthetics, the moisture sits on the top of the fabric. It’s why it feels damp and gets smelly. bamboo jersey has a fibre structure which absorbs moisture really effectively. It’s 40% more absorbent than organic cotton. As the air can’t get to the moisture (your sweat), the odour causing bacteria can’t do its thing and so your clothing, and you, stay morning fresh all day. And the next day. And maybe even the day after that. So you can reduce your laundry and your carbon footprint.
