Benefits of bamboo as a natural and sustainable fabric
In recent years, thanks to the increase in awareness of environmental problems, attention has increasingly turned towards sustainable solutions, not only in the food sector but also in the field of furniture and fashion.
In fact, in clothing and linen, in recent times the natural bamboo fiber has been occupying more and more space and it is no coincidence, because this fiber is not only natural and eco-friendly but gives the fabrics extraordinary benefits that we will discover in this article.
A BIT OF HISTORY AND ITS "ECOFRIENDLY" NATURE
Before moving on to the properties of its fiber, the history of the plant, truly one of a kind, whose origins date back to 50 million years ago, deserves attention.Today it is produced in America, Africa but above all in Asia and there are about 750 different species and its properties are truly manifold. We can define it as a plant:
1. STRONG, because thanks to its roots that expand in depth it resists natural phenomena and also grows everywhere even at different temperatures.
2. WITH VERY LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT as its cultivation does not require man, pesticides and a lot of water; and this is definitely a great merit if we consider that 20% of the global waste of water is attributed to fashion!
Bamboo is a plantfast-growing weed, up to 1 meter per day grows without human help and without the use of pesticides or fertilizers.
A reassuring aspect is that thanks to the varied typology of the plant, those used in the various sectors of clothing and furnishings are not the ones that pandas eat!
ITS BENEFITS IN LINEN FABRICS
The bamboo fiber fabric, thanks to its texture of multiple cavities and air cushions that make itmore breathable than other natural fabrics, it is particularly suitable for the production of towels and bathrobes.
Wearing a bamboo bathrobe, dressing gown or kimono gives a softer and more breathable effect on the skin thanks to itsability to absorb moisture and sweat, giving freshness for a long time and removing bad odors.
Moreover, thanks to its shinier appearance than other fabrics, it also lends itself well to the production of very elegant garments.
