10 Reasons to Support Bamboo Fabric

Utilising bamboo as a fibre, food and building material has been shown to be extremely beneficial to the environment and to human beings, especially in comparison to the cultivation of cotton. Here's why.

No Pesticides
Bamboo requires no pesticides in its cultivation

No Fertilisers
Bamboo requires no artificial fertilisers.

Removes Carbon Dioxide
As one of the fastest-growing plant organisms, bamboo rapidly absorbs carbon dioxide. One hectare of bamboo absorbs about 62 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Produces Oxygen
Rapidly growing bamboo produces large volumes of oxygen.

Harvesting
Once cut down, bamboo regenerates naturally.

Energy Efficiency
After harvesting, there is no need for ploughing and replanting, thus saving a considerable amount of energy.

Naturally Anti-bacterial
Bamboo contains naturally-occurring anti-bacterial and anti-fungal substances, enabling bamboo textiles to remain fresher for longer. This is also extremely beneficial for anyone with allergies.

Sustainable
Bamboo grows in a variety of habitats and climates and is a naturally organic crop.

Efficient Land Use
Bamboo grows densely and can produce about 60 tonnes per hectare annually. Efficient use of land means that there is more space for other crops.

Efficient Water Use
As a hardy type of grass, bamboo requires less water than comparable crops. Its dense root system also helps to retain water in the soil.
