Bamboo is such an excellent raw material because of its sustainability. As one of the fastest growing plants in the world it can grow about 70 feet in 60 days. Bamboo is a grass and behaves similarly to a familiar clump of grass. Harvesting a bamboo stock does not kill the whole plant, so there’s no need for replanting. The extensive root network sends up new stalks regularly. Harvesting bamboo has virtually no impact on the environment. Very little water and no fertilizers or pesticides are required to grow bamboo. It is naturally antimicrobial. Because bamboo grows so easily and attention free, it will naturally colonize areas other plants cannot. It can reclaim land previously damaged by less friendy types of agriculture and can prevent soil erosion due to the complex root network. A bamboo forest releases 30% more oxygen and absorbs four times more CO2 than a forest of trees covering the same area. The bamboo used to make fabric is not taken from wild bamboo forests or panda habitat. It is grown as a crop for this specific purpose. Only USDA certified organic bamboo is used to make our products.
