Ever worn something made out of
bamboo? The material is relatively new on the market and only recently, the
clothing industry has discovered its magical benefits.
Bamboo is an extremely fast-growing resource. Clothing made out of bamboo features
major benefits compared to synthetic fiber or cotton. The material is very soft
as bamboo naturally contains honey pectin. It makes the clothing very
comfortable to wear and the material is outstandingly suitable for baby
clothing and children’s wear. Another advantage is that bamboo is able to
absorb three times as much moisture as other materials such as cotton. This is
due to the structure of bamboo as the cross section of the root shows that the
bamboo fiber is hollow. This makes the material ideal for people who tend to
sweat easily. Thanks to its moisture properties, it is also pleasant to wear
bamboo clothing during warm temperatures. The special structure of bamboo even
has an insulating effect as it helps you keep cool in the summer and feel warm
in the winter. Bamboo is crease-resistant and you don’t have to waste your time
ironing. Another great characteristic of bamboo is its antibacterial effect.
This reduces and even prevents unpleasant
odors. Bamboo clothing is also
antistatic which means the clothing cannot become electrically charged and
cause an uncomfortable crackling like it is the case with synthetic fibers. In
addition to all the other benefits, bamboo is CO²-neutral which means that
during the production of bamboo, CO² is not emitted into the environment. This
makes bamboo an eco-friendly material and a great alternative to synthetic
fibers and cotton.
Below, we have provided you with a
number of different websites where you can purchase bamboo clothing. Let us

ReplyDeleteAnother reason why bamboo is a choice of good clothing material is because it has an antimicrobial bio-agent called “Bamboo Kun.” It’s a natural and unique characteristic of bamboo that helps reduce bacteria on clothing. When a fabric has fewer bacteria, unpleasant odors will not thrive on it.

There is some controversy about bamboo being green or sustainable fabric or not. This is mainly because bamboo rayon manufacturing requires use of chemicals. This is the only argument that purist use against bamboo fabric. Well, using chemical is an essential part of processing pulp into fiber. Cotton, Modal, Soy and even hemp uses some level of chemicals in processing. Now look at the positive side of bamboo. It doesn't use irrigation water as does cotton crop or hemp crops. Bamboo grows much faster than cotton, hemp or beach wood ( used for Modal) and Soy beans used for soy fabric manufacturing. Bamboo doesn't require chemical fertilizers or pesticides as required to raise cotton crop. Bamboo is the most sustainable source of fiber that helps prevent soil degradation due to its network of root system. In essence, bamboo is by far the most eco-friendly fabric next only to organic cotton.
