About Bamboo Fabric
Bamboo fabric is most commonly a regenerated cellulose fibre (bamboo viscose) made from bamboo pulp using the viscose process. While bamboo itself is a very sustainable plant (fast-growing, no pesticides needed), the viscose production process involves chemicals. True mechanically-processed bamboo linen is more sustainable but rare. Bamboo fabric is soft, breathable, and has natural antibacterial properties.
