Do you Bamboo?
Bamboo is fast becoming the most-popular alternative fabric and most talked about trends in fashion, why?
High-end, High-performance and Low Impact
PURE Bamboo is eco-luxurious! Finally, a fabric that fulfills all our needs for comfort, beauty and sustainability. Bamboo itself is one of the fastest growing, most readily renewable natural resources on the planet. It's 100% naturally grown without pesticides or fertilizers so PURE Bamboo clothing is better for your skin than most cottons and it's biodegradable. The unique properties of the fabric make it soft and durable—smooth and free-moving much like a fine silk and cashmere combined. This is why bamboo linen, even at average thread counts, is considered in the luxury category. But it's also why—for people who care about taking care of their bodies, and taking care of the environment, bamboo is the perfect choice.
100% Natural
PURE Bamboo clothing protects the wearer. Bamboo has naturally occurring anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, called Bamboo Kin, that inhibit bacteria from cultivating on it. So when this bamboo fiber is made into fabric, it's retains its anti-microbial properties! Because of this amazing quality, you can wash PURE Bamboo at lower temperatures, which means less energy and detergent are consumed. Twice as absorbent as cotton fabric, PURE Bamboo wicks away moisture from the skin and keeps the wearer dry, cool and comfortable. The fabric absorbs and evaporates perspiration quickly keeping the wearers odor-free, making it ideal for bathrobes, towels, active wear and baby wear.
Naturally Renewable and Durable
As one of the world's most versatile and environmentally-friendly materials, bamboo has been used as the perfect natural resource for thousands of years. And because bamboo requires no fertilizers, pesticides or insecticides to grow, bamboo clothing has NO harmful chemical residues to irritate your skin—unlike most cotton clothing, which leaves behind damaging chemicals in the fabric. (Cotton requires the use of fertilizers and insecticides, 7 out of 15 are rated among the most toxic chemicals on earth!) The non-sustainable cotton industry not only exacts an enormous toll on the earth's air, water and soil, it poorly impacts the health of people working in those fields as well as those living in cotton growing areas.
Bamboo is one of the most prolific plants (it's actually considered a grass) on the planet. Some varieties can grow up to 4 feet a day! Once cut a bamboo plant is fully mature in 3 to 4 years and ready to be harvested. Compared to a similar strand of trees bamboo absorbs 45% more carbon dioxide from the air. Bamboo can even improve soil quality in places where erosion and degradation of the natural minerals has occurred. It needs very little water to grow, which means it can thrive in a variety of climates without depleting water supplies.
In fact, PURE Bamboo is so committed to a sustainable and GREEN business, if you are a spa or hotel supplying your clients with these ultra-soft, long-lasting bathrobes, towels or sheets, you can get a little R & R—ask about our Rebate and Recycle program.
"There is never waste in nature."
And...Panda Safe!
There are over 1000 different species of bamboo. All PURE Bamboo products come from a type of bamboo called Moso or if you're botanically inclined Phyllostachys pubescens, a variety of bamboo that Pandas do not eat. So yeah, it's Panda safe too!
