There are two methods currently used to manufacture bamboo into usable textile:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The first method is a mechanical process where the bamboo\u2019s wood portion is crushed into a\u00a0pulp\u00a0and broken down using enzymes that allow the resulting material to be combed and\u00a0spun into yarn. This method is expensive and produces a fabric that is similar to linen, with a scratchy texture.<\/li>\n
  2. The second, and preferred method by many who work with bamboo, is the chemical method. Bamboo is crushed and soaked in sodium hydroxide, a chemical that is not harmful to the environment or workers when used responsibly, does not leave a harmful residue. This soaking process produces a substance called\u00a0cellulose fiber, which is then made into\u00a0viscose\u00a0from bamboo to produce textiles. \u00a0The resulting fiber produces a soft and highly absorbent fabric<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sustainable Resource<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Eco-friendly, soft, renewable, and safe: the bamboo plant allows textile manufacturers to produce items that have all of these qualities. In our continuing search for ways to reduce our impact on the environment while still being able to enjoy the luxuries of our modern age. By growing and harvesting the plant sustainably, using responsible manufacturing processes, and producing items that are useful, beautiful, and environmentally sound, viscose from bamboo could be the fabric of the future.<\/p>\n
