Description
Textile rayon from bamboo is any cloth, yarn or clothing made of rayon from bamboo fibres. While historically used only for structural elements, such as bustles and ribs of corsets, in recent years, different technologies have been developed that allow rayon from bamboo fibre to be used for a wide range of textile and fashion applications. Rayon from bamboo has many advantages over cotton as a raw material for textiles. Reaching up to 35 metres tall, bamboo is the largest member of the grass family. They are the fastest-growing woody plants in the world. One Japanese species has been recorded as growing over 1 metre a day. About 40 million hectares (99 million acres) of the Earth is covered with bamboo, mostly in Asia. The high growth rate of bamboo and the fact that bamboo can grow in diverse climates makes the bamboo plant a sustainable and versatile resource. Like other cellulose-based clothing materials, rayon from bamboo fibre is biodegradable in soil by microorganisms and sunlight. Having reached the end of its useful life, clothing made of rayon from bamboo can be composted and disposed of in an organic and environmentally friendly manner. Colour: Gray
