These are our 10 reasons for textiles with bamboo as a raw material.

1. Bamboo is a self-replenishing resource: Bamboo rarely if ever needs to be replenished. The miracle of bamboo is that it miraculously sprouts on its own and 1 hectare (10,000m²) of bamboo produces ten times more than one hectare of cotton. Cotton must be harvested and replanted every year, which can be a process. Some species of bamboo can grow up to 50 cm per day.

2. Bamboo uses 1/3 less water to grow: Bamboo does not require irrigation, but only 1/3 the amount of water to grow than is required for other crops. Water is becoming more and more of a limited commodity every day, and many farmers do not have the water necessary to grow their crops properly. Bamboo has always been a self-sufficient crop that does not require extra irrigation and uses water much more efficiently than other trees.

3. Bamboo is grown without pesticides.
