Bamboo clothing? After industrial hemp, what will they come up with next, but bamboo organic clothing? Seriously? Just the thought of bamboo clothing makes you want to start scratching doesn’t it? That long, hard stalk of bamboo can be made into textile items such as nightgowns, tee shirts and bed linens? Who would want to use bamboo?
I would, for one.
Bamboo is another great, environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. Even though the idea may scare some people, bamboo is actually quite soft and satiny feeling. It is the pulp of the stalk that is harvested from the bamboo and used to manufacture clothing items. That fine, fluffy material is 100% biodegradable and allergy reducing.
Yes, it’s great for those of us with horrible allergies.
Bamboo is bleached using chlorine, then dyed. Since bamboo can be easily dyed as well, it does not take as much chemicals and water to complete the dyeing process, so bamboo clothing assists the environment in that instance too! Bamboo pulp is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, which means that it is not going to develop that strange smell you have after several workouts in the same active wear. You know, that lingering odor that just will not wash away despite the ample amounts of laundry detergent you use. Its thermal registering properties will actually help regulate your body temperature and it has the added feature of protecting you from those harmful sunrays.
With bamboo being processed differently than most other organic textiles, the process is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Bamboo pulp can be processed in closed-loop methods with safer chemical ingredients to make it environmentally kind.
