A Very Strong Plant Fiber With Outstanding Biodegradability
DESCRIPTION
Bamboo is a natural bast fiber obtained from the pulp of bamboo plants. It can be processed into two major types of fiber: bamboo linen and bamboo viscose, which is the method used for the majority of bamboo fabric. Bamboo fiber is usually blended with other materials to make fabric.
HISTORY
Bamboo fiber originated in China, and was mainly used to make paper. Historically, it was also used for structural elements, such as bustles and the ribs of corsets. In the 20th century, the popularity of bamboo within the clothing industry grew, especially because of its environmental friendliness.
POTENTIAL IMPACT
Chemical retting, which is the extraction process of bamboo fibers from stems, can produce wastewater that can harm aquatic ecosystems.
SUSTAINABLE BENEFIT
Bamboo is a rapidly renewable and biodegradable resource. It is a low-maintenance crop, requires few chemicals during cultivation.
