Why is bamboo a sustainable fabric.
Bamboo fabric is one of the most popular textiles today, but it is also one of the most misunderstood. Some people believe that bamboo fabric is a sustainable and eco-friendly product, while others do not.
We are all aware of the need to buy clothing produced with sustainable materials, but we do not always have time to research all the materials we come across. That's why we decided to create this bamboo fabric guide so you can make informed decisions when selecting your next garment.
The fiber of bamboo It is a natural regenerated cellulose fiber, manufactured 100% from bamboo cane through a process that applies the most cutting-edge technologies, always respecting the environment.
Breathable and Cool
The most notable of the bamboo fiber is its extraordinary breathability and freshness, giving your skin the ability to breathe freely.
Because the cross section of bamboo fiber is full of micropores, it has strong moisture absorption and ventilation capacity. Thanks to this incomparable microstructure, the bamboo fiber fabric can absorb and evaporate sweat quickly.
Just like breathing, these garments provide great freshness and great comfort during the summer and will never adhere to the skin, even when exposed to the highest temperatures. Garments made with bamboo fibers They may be 1-2 degrees lower in temperature than other clothes in summer. Bamboo fiber fabrics are crowned as “the textile air conditioner”.
Natural Antibacterial
Bamboo grows strongly without the need for pesticides and is rarely attacked by pests or infected by pathogens.
For what is this? Scientists discovered that the bamboo It contains a unique antibacterial and bacteriostatic agent called “ bamboo kun” . This substance combines strongly with the molecular cellulose of bamboo throughout the bamboo fiber production process. In this way, the bamboo fiber has functions antibacterial , bacteriostatic and particular and natural deodorizers. It is proven by the Japan Textile Inspection Association that, even after 50 washes, bamboo fiber fabric still retains excellent antibacterial properties. Their results show a mortality rate of more than 70% in bacteria incubated in bamboo fiber fabric.
The natural antibacterial property of bamboo fiber differs greatly from chemical antibacterial treatments, which often cause skin allergies when applied to fabrics.
Ecological and Biodegradable
The bamboo fiber It is a biodegradable textile material, since, being a natural cellulose fiber, it can completely degrade in the earth thanks to microorganisms and sunlight. The decomposition process does not generate any type of pollution in the environment. The bamboo fiber It is born from nature and returns to it completely when it dies.
Bamboo fiber has been recognized as “the new natural, ecological and environmentally friendly textile material of the 21st century.”
