Bamboo
Bamboo viscose is preferable to conventional viscose, which can come from unsustainably harvested trees and even deforested ancient forests, but it is still considered a less sustainable fiber. Bamboo can also be processed using the Lyocell process, which uses less toxic chemicals and a closed-loop manufacturing process, thus a more sustainable alternative to the rayon viscose process.
It has properties such as:
- Soft hand with a nice drape;
- Silky texture and luster;
- Good breathability;
- Antibacterial quality;
- UV absorption property.
