The benefits of bamboo
In my search for sustainable fabric, I came across organic cotton, hemp, milk fibres, recycled polyester and lyocell to make clothes from. But eventually I came across the weed bamboo. bamboo weeds.
Because I wanted to make beautiful and comfortable clothing, but with respect for people, animals and the environment.
Bamboo provides real benefits, because:
- Bamboo is literally a weed and grows worldwide in diverse climates
- Every four years you can cut/ prune bamboo and it grows back
- There is therefore no need for any gigantic plantations and their associated drainage
- Bamboo is naturally anti allergy, so there is no need for pesticides
- Bamboo helps against soil erosion and makes the soil fertile again.
- Bamboo offsets 30% more co2 than other trees
