Bamboo is a natural fiber derived from the bamboo plant, a fast-growing and regenerative grass that requires minimal resources to thrive. The fibers can be extracted through mechanical or chemical processing.

# data[].attributes.body
Bamboo stalks are crushed and broken down with natural enzymes.

The fibers are then combed out and spun into yarn, similar to linen processing.

This method results in a strong, breathable fabric called bamboo linen, though it is more labor-intensive.

Chemical Processing (Less Sustainable – Used for Bamboo Rayon/Viscose)

# data[].attributes.body
Bamboo is dissolved in chemical solvents to extract cellulose.

The solution is processed and spun into soft, silky rayon fibers.

This method is cheaper and produces softer fabric but involves harmful chemicals like carbon disulfide, which can be toxic if not managed properly.

Fast-growing, up to three feet per day in optimal conditions

Requires no pesticides or fertilizers

Absorbs five times more CO₂ and produces 35% more oxygen than equivalent trees

Biodegradable and compostable, especially when mechanically processed

Requires one-third the water of cotton for cultivation

Naturally antibacterial, odor-resistant, and UV-protective
