Description:
Bamboo fiber has been touted as THE natural, green, renewable and eco-friendly textile of the 21st Century. Bamboo thrives naturally without the use of pesticides. Bamboo is a cellulose fiber which is converted into yarns without the addition of toxic chemicals, and is 100% biodegradable in soil by micro-organism and sunshine, causing no pollution to the environment. Bamboo naturally exhibits the following characteristics:
- Anti-Bacterial
- Anti-Fungal
- Anti-Static
- Natural antibiosis qualities keep bacterium in check, decreasing bad odors
- Micro-gaps in the bamboo fiber give a moisture absorption rate 3X that of cotton
- Ultra-plush texture is soft on sensitive skin
Upon first touch customers cannot believe how soft the towels are, and thin too! These towels take one-half to one-third the space of a conventional cotton towel, absorb 2-3 times more water, and will not smell of mildew, even after being tested damp for a week! If you need new towels for your RV / camper , apartment/dorm room or any area with limited storage space you have found them!
These bamboo cotton towel sets are woven using bamboo for the pile, and cotton for the backing, giving a content of 65% Bamboo Fiber, 35% Cotton.
Consumer Reports says: "It may sound unbelievable, but when we tested bath towels woven from a new blend of cotton and bamboo, they were about 25% softer after laundering than their all-cotton counterparts."
Bamboo Benefits
|
There are many environmental benefits to using bamboo. Bamboo plants are very quick growers and do not require fertilisers or pesticides for a successful crop. They also require very little water and they can survive drought conditions as well as flooding. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. Some bamboo species can even grow 1 meter a day.
A critical element in the balance of oxygen / carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Bamboo is the fastest growing canopy for the regreening of degraded areas and generates more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees. It lowers light intensity and protects against ultraviolet rays and is an atmospheric and soil purifier.
Versatile with a short growth cycle. There are over 1000 species of bamboo on the earth. The diversity makes bamboo adaptable to many environments. It can be harvested in 3-5 years versus 10-20 years for most softwoods. Bamboo tolerates extremes of precipitation, from 30-250 inches of annual rainfall.
Bamboo is a renewable resource that is abundantly available in many rural areas where economic development is limited.
By researching and developing more ways to utilize bamboo, we can offer rural areas an opportunity to maintain their culture and lifestyle while lifting their economic situation.
Economic studies have shown that by developing more usage for bamboo, we have the potential of providing income, food and housing to over 2.2 billion people worldwide.
